War Cry Lyrics by ​mercury

We Were So Close, but Now We’re So Far

2020

[Verse 1]
I am a stranger
On this ground that I stand
She, she's on fire
Right in the palms of our hands

Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Rise up above
From the ashes as we flee
Watch her burn down
Open your eyes, you'll see

[Pre-Chorus ?]
All I ever wanted (?)
Was all I ever needed (?)
Beautiful and reckless
Now the streets are bleeding
What the hell has happened
To us in this season
Look in the eyes of hatred (?)
Killing without reason (?)

[Chorus ?]
We shall rise among this raging sea
As we learn the worst is yet to bе
When will we know if the rivеrs run to dry
And when the nighttime falls
What will be our last war cry

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus ?]
We shall rise among this raging sea
As we learn the worst is yet to be
Will we know if the rivers run to dry
And when the nighttime falls
What will be our last war cry
