Escape Lyrics by Amorphis

The Beginning of Times

2011

[Verse 1]
Therein lie the nets of iron
Snares of copper made
They offered drinks that lull to sleep
Of everlasting chains
But I changed my mortal shape
And took the form of a snake
I swam through the nets of deception
Crawled back to life again

[Chorus 1]
Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
They say there’s no return but I
Made my way back home

[Post-Chorus]
Back to life
Back to life

[Verse 2]
I was there among the shadows
Who whispered out their screams
I was transformed by the strength
Of my will to live

[Chorus 2]
Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
There is no return, no way
To ever walk back home

[Chorus 1]
Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
They say there’s no return but I
Made my way back home

[Post-Chorus]
Back to life
Back to life

[Chorus 2]
Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
There is no return, no way
To ever walk back home

[Chorus 1]
Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
They say there’s no return but I
Made my way back home
