I the Mighty - The Frame III: Sirocco lyrics

When it’s so damn hot
They say we only see just what we want
What we want well, trust them not
There’s no one here to argue this mirage
When hope is all you got

'Cause now they’re closing in as
You begin to fall apart

When everybody grew so cold
You gave up, but we believed in you
Believed in you
And you were once this empty shell
Now you stand above the rest

Yeah, I took you in
Told you of the storm that’s coming
And I watched your eyes light up
Like fireflies in the desert night
And you said: "Yes, my friend
They’re hunting me down like a dog"
So I’ll have them die like one"

Now they’re closing in
As you begin your plan and run run, run, run

When everybody grew so cold
You gave up, but we believed in you
Believed in you
And you were once this empty shell
Now you stand above the rest, yeah

You led them from where you call home
And into a desert storm
And left them to deal with God
(I wash my hands and now it's done)
In the morning, they’d all be gone, yeah

When everybody grew so cold
You gave up but we believed in you
Believed in you
And you were once this empty shell
Now you stand above the rest
Oh, you stand above the rest
Oh, you stand above the rest, yeah

But they already took her from us, from us
