My Epic - And We Were so Close to Perfection lyrics
[My Epic - And We Were so Close to Perfection lyrics]
Can't they see the sky burning
And claiming every hope?
Don't they feel the earth breaking
And scattering the fold?
This act surely is past the scope of
Clemency and any shroud of mystery
Let's return now, say the word and we'll
Retreat to better scenes
Coastlines and mountainsides
Perfection dripping from the seams
When did miracles reveal the mysteries
And end in tragedy?
(Don't let them boast)
They'll claim the victory if you
(Give up the ghost)
I stand awaiting the call for the rescue
One word and empires fall
(One word and empires fall)
You're calculating the point for
Your next move but this is taking too long
(This is taking too long)
Has courage fled for newer brides
And traded truth for alibis
That I alone of dozen strong
Should witness Your demise?
Before Your mothers eyes whisper "relief"
I know You have the power
Is this the way it's meant to be?
The Shepherd slain by all the sheep?
They're cursing Your name you're fading away
When will the empire fall?
They spit in Your face
It's more than I can take
(It's more than I can take)
Is this the end of it all?
Don't touch Him
This man has done nothing wrong
And claiming every hope?
Don't they feel the earth breaking
And scattering the fold?
This act surely is past the scope of
Clemency and any shroud of mystery
Let's return now, say the word and we'll
Retreat to better scenes
Coastlines and mountainsides
Perfection dripping from the seams
When did miracles reveal the mysteries
And end in tragedy?
(Don't let them boast)
They'll claim the victory if you
(Give up the ghost)
I stand awaiting the call for the rescue
One word and empires fall
(One word and empires fall)
You're calculating the point for
Your next move but this is taking too long
(This is taking too long)
Has courage fled for newer brides
And traded truth for alibis
That I alone of dozen strong
Should witness Your demise?
Before Your mothers eyes whisper "relief"
I know You have the power
Is this the way it's meant to be?
The Shepherd slain by all the sheep?
They're cursing Your name you're fading away
When will the empire fall?
They spit in Your face
It's more than I can take
(It's more than I can take)
Is this the end of it all?
Don't touch Him
This man has done nothing wrong
