We were drowning in nostalgia in the wooded forest
Wiping our eyes and losing track of time
Over time your face grew older, close your eyes the war is over
Sometimes it feels like it’s happening all over again

Loud screams, dark nights, broken glass and the old times
We stood together as the brotherhood of men
Their bones hung heavy in the frozen wooden sea
And that’s when we learned we had been defeated

Lying in the freezing cold, we’re buried under sheets of snow
Sometimes I wish that it could’ve been me
Out in the dark, the enemies were trailing
And our brotherhood began derailing

You said you were fine without me, out in the snow and green
We’ve all fought and we’ve all seen what happens through the trees
We can try to defend until the very end
But we cannot pretend, we’ll never become legends

Chorus x2
[We tried but we won’t make it out alive
We always meant to make it out alive
This is the last thing I’ll ever right and I’ve
I’ve always meant to make it out alive]

[We tried but we won’t make it out alive
We always meant to make it out alive
This is the last thing I’ll ever right and I’ve
I’ve always meant to make it out alive]
