Cruxshadows Africanus Lyrics

Is this the way we let it in
Our legacy erased
Invaders cut a path within
Devouring everything

And they will if we let them
And they will if we run
What they take from us now
It can't be undone

I won't stand down—there's no surrender
Nowhere left we can retreat
I won't stand down—there's no surrender
No surrender, no surrender
You cannot advance if you don't fight back
And you won't fight back if you don't believe
Where peace is laid impossible
Prepare for warmth to summer (to summer)
Follow me

Strength is order and weakness prey
But I alone design my fate
I know too well with schemes transparent
Must resort to trickery
I'll take the battle back to Cardfid
Where triumph fades into defeat
Revenge avenged, and so it carries
Skip the ode to victory

And they will if we let them
And they will if we run
What they take from us now
It can't be undone

I won't stand down—there's no surrender
Nowhere left we can retreat
I won't stand down—there's no surrender
No substitute for tenacity
You cannot advance if you don't fight back And you won't fight back if you don't believe
Where peace is laid impossible
Prepare for warmth to summer (to summer)
Follow me

This is my purpose, the strength to begin
I channel some courage, I summon it in
This is my gift, the act of my tears
This is my prayer, embracing my fear
This is my family, this is my home
A lifetime believing and all that I know
This is the place I choose to defend
And I'll defend it, to the end
This is my honor, this is my word
This is the voice you've already heard
This is my faith that rises above
This is my everything—I give it to love

And they will if we let them
And they will if we run
What they want from us now
We give to no one

I won't stand down—there's no surrender
Nowhere left we can retreat
I won't stand down—there's no surrender
No substitute for tenacity
You cannot advance if you don't fight back
And you won't fight back if you don't believe
Where peace is laid impossible
Prepare for warmth to summer (to summer)
Follow me
