You've taken this too far
Now it has to stop
You've taken this too far
Once again
The table's turned
And I'm behind
Picking up the pieces from the night
My face is scarred
Sometimes
I feel that I can't trust myself at all
And every time the sky
(every time the sky)
Breaks open with sunshine
As streaming swords collide
(streaming swords collide)
It takes me back in time
I float away
To another place
Where heaven is waiting
Right outside
This is war
Cannot take it anymore (cannot take it anymore)
I'm falling faster and bleeding more
Than I have bled before
Certain death (the pain will cause a purpose)
Lingers on the other hand (and if you feel defeated)
But I will fight you
And victory will be mine in the end
Circumstances mean nothing
When it's over
We will be
Heroes constantly
Pushing forward without any fear
If I erased the line between
Forgotten names and memories
I'd never change
Resolution made in vain
To face
[?] the day
Life is yours to save (save it)
Or take (take it) away
Now it has to stop
You've taken this too far
Once again
The table's turned
And I'm behind
Picking up the pieces from the night
My face is scarred
Sometimes
I feel that I can't trust myself at all
And every time the sky
(every time the sky)
Breaks open with sunshine
As streaming swords collide
(streaming swords collide)
It takes me back in time
I float away
To another place
Where heaven is waiting
Right outside
This is war
Cannot take it anymore (cannot take it anymore)
I'm falling faster and bleeding more
Than I have bled before
Certain death (the pain will cause a purpose)
Lingers on the other hand (and if you feel defeated)
But I will fight you
And victory will be mine in the end
Circumstances mean nothing
When it's over
We will be
Heroes constantly
Pushing forward without any fear
If I erased the line between
Forgotten names and memories
I'd never change
Resolution made in vain
To face
[?] the day
Life is yours to save (save it)
Or take (take it) away

resolution made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
-Rock ON!-
picking up the pieces from the night
-he's always following clues which he knows nothing about
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
-The engine from the plane takes him back to the beginning
resolution made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
-he saves everyones' lives by sacrificing his own
Just some of my own thoughts on the interesting parrallels, take em or leave em.
"But I will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
circumstances mean nothing.
When it's over we will be heroes,
constantly pushing forward without any fear."
"this is war
can I take it anymore
i'm falling faster and bleeding more than i have bled before
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you and victory will be mine in the end"
So I agree emery had the idea of sexual temptation when writing the lyrics to this song. I take it a different way though. That's the great thing about art, everyone can interpret it a different way. Just another lyrically superior emery song.
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
I float away to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside
this is war
CAN I TAKE IT ANYMORE
I'M FALLING FASTER AND BLEEDING MORE THAN I HAVE BLED BEFORE
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
--I thought the last part was a mental conversation/battle between Christ and Satan--
resolutions made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
