lyrics

Caladan
Like soaking wet from the rain
Wash away the dirt and the pain
Without leaving any stains
Stranded on deserted land
Sun reflecting off the warm sand
Like a reed in the wind I must bend
Or will I wither?

Tethered heart isn't free
A wailing cry or helpless plea
Will I remember how it was?
Not to be alone like I'm in this vast world

Treacherous conspiracy
A cunning act to deceive
A cutting word
Like blades through a shroud
A glossed appearence
Won't displace my doubt
I saw your fierce atrocity
I've heard in your voice ferocity
To whistle-blow on behalf of
An envenomed bond

Miss the sound of the breaking waves
And the sight my heart still craves
All those places that were my faves
Nothing's like it was back then
I hope I won't be depressed again
Must force myself to stand the strain
Or I grow bitter

Tethered heart isn't free
A wailing cry or helpless plea
Will I remember how it was?
Not to be alone like I'm in this vast world

You swore it was them
Or a higher plan
I would be back again
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow may never come
But I will hold you to that
You led my ways persistently
Oh I won't bend anxiously
You took away the waves and wind

Again and again the sun will rise
But no rain upon my head
Again and again, frustratingly
Old memories come back
Oh I miss the trees
My hope is gone
Under the vast scorching sun
What went WRONG AGAIN

Torn between now and what we had BACK THEN
Honestly, I won't flee back
I found my way
Made the most of it
Though we're NOT FREE

A call for arms
Stand up and fight
Anyone up here
Be proud tonight
I am up here
Reaching for the sky
Not forgetting the traitor
Who filled me with this fright
Before we burn
I forgive you but it's fucking hard
I forgive you for taking me...
Away
Away
Away
Away
From all these places I wish I have never left
