FINAL CRY
(SONGS OF A BROKEN FUTURE, 2020)
LYRICS BY SEAN HETHERINGTON; COMPOSED BY
DAVE PEAK / NICK PALMER
So is this how the mighty fall
Lost your way after a lifetime worth of disappointments
Beaten down and you kept getting up
But continual punishment grew too much
So now see where you are
You’ve reached the end, the end of your line
The end of your life
This is your final cry
You have a feeling, discomfort unknown
Pressures building into emotional overload
Senses screaming, pain sends tears to your eyes
Worlds problems weigh heavy but your desensitised
So they test you
To prove their truth
Will you fight what they say
Or surrender
So they test you
To see what you will lose
Will you fight what they say
Or surrender
Enjoying excess, you can never say no
Obeying cravings damage is untold
Pass the whisky, same thing everyday
Pills you want to help you, but can you turn away
Now, this is the end, a foe or a friend
Live or die? This is your Final Cry
How will you mend, it cant be the end
have to fight, this is your final cry
Stare into the mirror, as a stranger reflects
years of self loathing what did you expect
Now a glimmer of hope is set to lead you away
Listen to my guidance and you’ll live another day
Now, this is the end, a foe or a friend
Live or die? This is the Final Cry
How will you mend, this cant be the end
You have to fight, this is your final cry
So you lost the feeling, comforts now known
Alleviated pressure, no emotional overload
So they test you
To prove their truth
Will you fight what they say
Or surrender
So they test you
To see what you will lose
Will you fight what they say
Or surrender
Now, it’s not the end, for I am a friend
No more lies, This is the Final Cry
Take my strength, your last line defence
This is mine, this is my Final Cry
