The Forgotten Oath

The Forgotten Oath
Music: Will Stephens and Undefined
Lyrics: Will Stephens and Buck Foley


Three years ago I couldn't imagine a future more bleak / But the horizon is growing darker / Every day / It looks hopeless / How'd it ever come to this? / I have something to scream about / For the first time / And I don't know what to say / What can one voice do?

The inhibitions / I placed upon myself / My life's catastrophe / Kept for you / Save my fortress / But the walls have broken down / The world is mine / And I'll take it all in time

This worlds burning and we're gathering around / Singing campfire songs as the ashes hit the ground / My country tis of thee / Taste the sweet burning liberty / We've been bought / Our attention spans sold / Just keep on believing everything that you're told / The sound of freedom ringing is being drowned out by this overzealous partiotic singing

The inhibitions / I placed upon myself / My life's catastrophe / Kept for you / Save my fortress / But the walls have broken down / The world is mine / And I'll take it all in time

A day will come / Where the sun will not rise / We'll be left in our own darkness / We made too many mistakes / We all will die / And nothin's gonna stop us / As I leave you to your troubles / As love surpasses me / The light burns out / And fades away

This is not some fairy tale where it ends up alright / We have to fight / Now dedicate your life to something that actually matters / So when you turn out the lights tonight / And every night for the rest of your life / Just lie awake and think about how it could have been / If you'd spoken up / Took a chance / Sacrificed yourself for something bigger than us all / Something just / Something right / But it won't be tonight
