Jeff Williams
For Every Life
[Verse 1: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
We said goodbye
To all the things we loved
Gave up our lives
Just to find that it was not enough (Not enough, not enough)
We leapt in faith
Left our solitude, our carefree peace
What we thought would change the world
Was just a childish dream
[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
We failed to stop our own demise
The tragic end's before our eyes
Hope has no place here
Maybe the path that leads our way home will finally clear
Maybe the end we tried to avoid is already here
[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Some roses will never bloom
Some dreams will rot on the vine
Some lives will end much too soon
Some evil will never, ever die
Some wars will not end in peace
Some heroes choose the wrong side
Sometimes it's worth it all to risk the fall
And fight for every life
[Verse 2: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
We tried to rise
Defeat the hate through love
Keep hope alive
Trust our hearts and somehow soar above (Soar above, soar above)
We sacrificed
Pledged our souls and gave up everything
But in the end, there's only failure
Only suffering
[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Our plans of triumph torn apart
An endless sea of broken hearts
Strength's not victory
All that remains, the end of the tale, is worse than we feared
All that remains, collapsed in the void, drowning in tears
[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Some roses will never bloom
Some dreams will rot on the vine
Some lives will end much too soon
Some evil will never, ever die
Some wars will not end in peace
Some heroes choose the wrong side
Sometimes it's worth it all to risk the fall and fight
[Bridge: Casey Lee Williams]
For everything we love
For all we've ever known
Maybe it's just fantasy
A foolish goal we can't achieve
This battle's near the end
We're falling faster every day
The path to victory fades away
The finish drawing near
Will this be the day
That we've always feared?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
Some roses will never bloom
Some dreams will rot on the vine
Some lives will end much too soon
Some evil will never, ever die
Some wars will not end in peace
Some heroes choose the wrong side
Sometimes it's worth it all to risk the fall
And fight for every life
