The Shift Lyrics by Eye of The Enemy

The Vengeance Paradox

2014

[Verse 1]
Promises made, an oath sworn with pride
Never to stray far from your side
Never stray far from your side
[Verse 2]
As the days grew longer, nothing much mattered to me
Resentment was leading the endless display
Shoulders were held down, the weight of this world as my crown
Self inflicted apathy
[Verse 3]
I'd never seen a day, where life depends on me
Careless aggression gave way to obsession
I bow my head in loss, for a moment in time now lost
And I still await that old hour
[Chorus]
Little one, innocent son
I swear I will always be here
No more waste in regret
Accepting the fate we have met
Begin again
Move away from the hate, fear, loss, bitterness
See through the haze, rage fuels best
A lesson of mine, will be yours in time
How you prepare, the duty is mine
I'll pave the way for you
[Post-Chorus]
Pave our way for you
And father I'll bury my anguish with you
[Instrumental]
[Breakout]
Loss, nought to replace
[Instrumental]
[?]
[Verse 4]
Loss
Our time was short to most
But I've never felt as close
And I still await that old hour
[Outro]
Little one, innocent son
I swear I will always be here
What's now begun, won't be undone
Begin again
My innocent son
