lyrics

I never wanted this everlasting fight
Became emotionless,
This was the only way you left me

What if I lose, what if I fail?
I haver strived all my life alone in this frame.

Follow my lead, don’t care
if you live or die, it doesn't matter.
Do what I want ,Or I take away
Everything you loved one day
Follow my lead, Do what I want
like yesterday you took my commands
I build an empire and you're the slave
incapable puppet on a string

We gave everything, sacrificed our life
But now we're dancing between emptiness and love

What if I lose, what if I fail?
I haver strived all my life alone in this frame.

We want to hold on till the end
But with trust also future dies

We can't follow a man that kills love
We don't let his hurt multiply on us
We won't let fear rule us to death
We can't watch our souls dissolve

We are the force, we are one
we can fight a path into the light
Not only sick, a sick and weak mind
that's all you are

Follow my lead, don’t care
if you live or die, it doesn't matter.
Do what I want ,Or I take away
Everything you loved one day
Follow my lead, Do what I want
like yesterday you took my commands
I build an empire and you're the slave
incapable puppet on a string
