lyrics
V:
I told you, only truth.
For 20 years, I sought only this day.
Nothing else existed... until I saw you. Then everything changed.
I fell in love with you Evey. And to think I no longer believed I could.
Verse 1:
You're the sun warmin' faces, of kids in cold 3rd world nations,
the blankets warming homeless Veterans in Subway Stations.
You're the reason I am, You pulled me out of dark places.
Your voice rings, like bells from heavenly places.
You're the hope in the eyes of enslaved races, oppressed nations,
The enslaved oppressed Anglo-American Population.
You're my one true inspiration.
Yes my thoughts in chains, yeah the thought of you enslaves them.
A love loved once before but Nevermore, fly just like the Raven.
Wish I could go back 365, days before it all came cavin',
in on me don't you see. I've been buried alive by
Memories on Memories, made in such a short time.
Most of the time, by fall of night I'm either numb from the pain,
or feeling deaths at my side.
Evey Hammond:
But I don't want you to die! . . . !
V:
That's the most beautiful thing you could have ever given me. . . .
Verse 2:
So I ride by deaths side, but somehow we are thrown off course,
and Death dismounts his demonic white horse.
He seems concerned, as if now learned a great evil has set the world to burn.
But a great evil has set the world to burn.
Everywhere we turn, new laws & executive orders that we have to learn.
Big Brother, at my back STOP CISPA!
Were those 365 days just sharpened knives to be stabbed in my back?
My blood runs black, with Ragnarock at my side to eat souls is all I have.
I want it all back, I want to go back,
Back to the beginning, but a Golden Chain of Memories is all I have.
This idea, flag & mask & Fortunate Futures on my back.
Secret Scientist in my heart, but I keep it on my hat.
Anonymous Ideals mixed with the Philosophy of
ALLCAPS.
Evey Hammond: V ! ! . . .
*Crying*
