Upon This Dawning · To Keep Us Safe [2012]
It's time to leave this place behind my back
I cannot forget, not forget
Gonna move away and leave the rest
Something bad is coming
I will fight until the end to save all the things I care about,
All the things I love
I'll save you
So c'mon take my hand, we've gotta move away
And now, so tell me the way
I'll follow your light, I'll follow you
I just have to follow your light
And now tell me the way
I'll follow your light, I'll follow you
I just have to believe, to believe you
Take my hand right now, my hand right now
I did not hear your voice for too long
I'll pray for you
I have another chance to have something more than this
I hold you, I hold you
I'll keep your secret
I want to know something about that curse
I want to know something about that f*cking curse
It is time to react
(I'll follow your light)
I'll save you
Open your eyes, you can see beyond the line
Open your eyes, you can find the answer
Take one last breath now
It is time to react
