lyrics

Treacherous

In time, with my bare feet I’ll dig the dirt,
With my bare hands I’ll clear the path
And so, for every soul that I may hurt
I urge my heart to clear the debt

And there’s a Dragon lurking from behind the scene
And I can feel its treacherous tail closing in
I should have warned you not to stand there in its way
But as it happens, I am also just a prey

I try not to be clad in winds and rain
But there’s a tendency to magnetize the nature’s wrath

In time, all feats will turn into memory’s dust
All bits and parts will fall into place
As so, for every heart I’m meant to break
I take the storm I have to face

And there’s a mermaid singing poison to my ears
Concealing treacherous mementos in her speech
I should have warned you not to listen to my words
But as it happens, I was also held bewitched

I try not to be clad in winds and rain
But there’s a tendency to magnetize the nature’s wrath
Oh Man, bring me the warmth back once again
‘Cause I can tell the sun inside is just about to set
