The Terror Complete Lyrics

Be Free, a Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Did God make pain

So we can know

The high that nothing is

The sun shines down

But we're still cold

It's light is not a light that shines

[Interlude]

The way, a way

But how can we be free

When all our days are empty

[Verse 2]

Is love a God

That we control

To try to trust the pain

The sun shines down

But we can't see

Its light lights everything the same

[Chorus]

Be free, a way

But how can we

Find arms to hold the days

Be free, a way

But how can we

Find arms to hold the days

[Coda]

A way

The Terror Lyrics

[Verse 1]

However long they love you, we are all standing alone

The terror’s in our heads, we don't control the controls

I turn to face the sun, we are still standing alone

At last we'll sing of the terror, it helps us hold the controls

[Verse 2]

We’ll sing in the sunshine, we'll laugh every day

We’ll sing 'cause love will save us

The sunshine every day

[Outro]

Your voice says "yes", but I can't go on

Your voice says "yes", but I can't go more

What gives judgement the final word

When at once the sacred word can't be heard

You Are Alone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All the time you know about is bad

All the time you told me I was bad

That I have no goodness left in me

And I'll have to live beyond reality's dream

Oh, girl...

No...

[Verse 2]

Just the sound of your ecstasy I hear

Just enough to wake me from my fear

It's enough to sacrifice me now

It's the only sound of love I hear

Oh, God...

No...

[Chorus]

I'm not alone, you are alone

You’re not alone, you are alone

[Break]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
