Reach For The Skies Lyrics by Protect This City

Light // Darkness [EP]

2019

[Intro]
We’ve been paralyzed for far too long
And now it’s time to wake up
Before we’ll end up with nothing
Before we’ll end up lost and alone
[Verse 1]
We’ve wanted to become the titans of our times
We’ve decided to reach for the stars
Tried to become gods, but forgot the rules
We’ve took up the challenge
Control the chaos (before we'll end up with nothing)
Create new order (before we'll end up lost and alone)
But the truth is
[Chorus]
We’ve been paralyzed for far too long
And now it’s time to wake up
Before we’ll end up with nothing
Before we’ll end up lost and alone
The light has faded in our hearts
And we are straying through this night
Stumbling through ashes of our greatness
Stumbling through ashes of our stars
[Verse 2]
Can you count all our offences
I think we have gone too far
In this pursuit of the perfection
I think we have lost our ways
Within our own constructions
We have become one of the machines
Within our broken circuits
We have become one of the machines
[Breakdown]
We lost our light we became heartless
There is a hollow inside all of us
We are paralyzed our hands are tied
Just look at the ash we’ve left behind
We are reaching the point of no return
We can only watch this cruel world
We are reaching the point of no return
We can only watch this cursed world
[Bridge]
We’ve been paralyzed for far too long
And now it’s time to wake up
Before we’ll end up with nothing
Before we’ll end up lost and alone
[Chorus]
We’ve been paralyzed for far too long
And now it’s time to wake up
Before we’ll end up with nothing
Before we’ll end up lost and alone
The light has faded in our hearts
And we are straying through this night
Stumbling through ashes of our greatness
Stumbling through ashes of our stars
[Outro]
The steps were made and now it’s too late to change our minds
Like fallen angels without wings, we won’t reach for the stars
