    -LYRICS-
    Just know,
    you might see the end,
    But I see where I start.
    Time slipping away,
    and all I am, could get me nowhere.
    I made a change,
    and i found this way,
    swinging.
    We put ourselves, through hell,
    just to feel alive.
    We had the world in,
    our hands.
    But you gave it away ( but you gave it away).
    Now get me out, and don't let me fall
    again.
    We talk and dwell, on faces past
    I can't control, we can't control.
    There is a place,
    I've never been, and never will
    I'll take you away
    ( I've) Got nothing to lose.
    I'm not giving up.
    Can you hear the sound?
    Can you hear the sound?
    This is our soul coming out
    and giving us a name
    to make.
    It's such a ride
    that I'm not gonna change
    This is my promise
    yeah -
    I'll give you dust,
    I'll give you fear,
    I'll give you, your last hope
    through my will.
    We all rely, on future odds
    I can't control, we can't control
    There is a place,
    I cant' escape, I can't escape
    please take me away
    ( I've) Got nothing to lose.
    I'm not giving up.
    Can you hear the sound?
    Can you hear the sound?
    This is our soul coming out
    and giving us a name
    to make.
    It's such a ride
    that I'm not gonna change
    This is my promise
    x2 -
    Want to be happy for a while.
    Want to be happy forever.
    Want to heal this hurt, inside.
    Want to be happy for a while. Revenge.
    Want to be happy forever. Forgive.
    Want to heal this hurt. Forget.
    Trying to find,
    answers behind a lie,
    you can't hide, you cannot hide.
    I won't stop, I won't stop.
    Looking straight at the sun.
    You'll see no shade.
    This is my promise.
    You've got nothing to lose.
    Nothing to lose.

    RIP Napoleon. Even with the 2 full-length releases, I can't help but be disappointed at the waste of potential. This will always be one of my favorite songs of all time, though.

    Not gonna lie, initially didn’t like this one as much as their previous EP as it felt a bit all over the place like a riff salad. But nearly 10 years down the track after many more listens this is probably one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. The composing is on an entirely different level and the lyrics never fail to hold me up when I need a bit of courage. Amazing song by an amazing band, I’ll always be listening. Napoleon forever.
