High as Pride – Echolyn – letras

We had crossed our lines and dug inOn fields that were once greenRushing and falling, our conscience in our earsWe won the war and floatedHigh as pride can climbHome across the ocean to find all our gods were deadIn our eyes shine nothingBut youth and all its flameFeeding on itself as if the devil may careIn an axiom is religion »To eat, drink, and be merry »We danced on the altar « for tomorrow we die »Everything’s been figured, but figured wrongThe good time rags are all goneEverything’s been figured, but figured wrongMy « Oxford Bags » are all worn »At 18 our convictions are hills from which we lookAt 45 they’re caves into which we hide »I was high as pride can climbClimbing to salvationNo one was saved and no one born again
