aLIEz (Aldnoah.Zero)

(álbum: Total Coverage, Vol. 1 - 2016)

I will rise in resistance
Sing the oath of rebellion
End cease-fire on this high wire
Head to toe in vanity

When those eyes in the mirror stare back at me
I'm reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see

Wipe away the weakness
Will you let those scars define you?
Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory?

Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me
Wearing down my fight till nothing's left

I say, crier
I say, liar
I say rise in hell
I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR
I'll wage war
I hate war
They say fight for peace... but what is that?

Raise a shield to the bullets
Hold my ground, all I got now
But I'm defenseless, all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet

I turn from the mirror, that desperate plea
I refuse and can't believe those eyes belong to me

Come on, one more breath
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?

I tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret what have I done?

I say, crier
I say, liar
I say rise in hell
I am just about to burst as they say... WAR
I'll wage war
I hate war
There's no end to this, can't you see that?

A cowardly façade weaves into my voice
As I call for war, blinded by this far-fetched noble cause
Although I had a choice, I believed the lies
But it's all a dream, ending when I open up my eyes

Come on, one more breath
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?

I tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret what have I done?

I say, crier
I say, liar
I say rise in hell
I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR
I'll wage war
I hate war
They say fight for peace... Does it exist?

My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you tell me if this "dream" was worth it?

My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you help me?
Wake me from this nightmare
