A Stubborn Soul - The Duskfall

Short were the days of the wise man, went up the hill and never came back

A stubborn soul will fight anything, a restless soul won’t just settle in

Left home in search for a paradise, found a place for parasites,

like leaches they sucked him dry

Numbed the pain, with bottles of whiskey… He’d become all empty

On that day, he went up that hill, couldn’t go on by remaining still

Gave him some and took some more, made him their slave, became a whore

There was no other choice for it to end, just to look at the bullet with a grin

So won’t you stand and hail this institution, this is the enticement,

your one last solution

These were the days of the wise man, went up the hill and stumbled back

Lost it all and everything, such a will to fly, they lured him in

On that day, he went up that hill, couldn’t go on by remaining still

Gave him some and took some more, made him their slave, became a whore

There was no other choice for it to end, just to look at the bullet with a grin

So won’t you stand and hail this institution, this is the enticement,

your one last solution

You can fight against but these walls will stand

For every brick you take you’ll fight a wicked man
