lyrics

[VERSE 1]
--Duras'kò:
I won't pretend I don't know why you’re here
For you have heard my message loud and clear
--Alìyara:
The things I've been hearing, they sound familiar, so I ask:
These nightmares are plaguing me, so can you fill in the blanks?

[CHORUS 1]
--Duras'kò:
These streets were paved with gold
Back in the days of old
My mother told me that you could be anything
Then Róçtok came along;
The bastard stole it all
Our dreams had died the day he took things over

[VERSE 2]
--Duras'kò:
The concept was so damn easy to sell
Until one day he took it all for himself
--Alìyara:
I'm curious if Róçtok's climb to the top bears a curse,
So maybe is there any way that it can be reversed?

[CHORUS 2]
--Duras'kò:
The history books are wrong;
He killed them one by one
And he has the balls to call himself a "saviour"
But here is my theory:
One Royal got away
It’s my belief that they're still out there waiting
'Til the time is right; ready to strike!

[VERSE 3]
--Yanà:
Girl, what have I told you?
And when will you ever learn?!
You're playing with fire
While I make sure you can't get burned!
--Alìyara:
At least he's giving answers!
How many do you give me? None!
You say you protect me,
But what do you protect me from?

I'm sick of this silence
So what are you hiding now?!
I'm asking you kindly,
What's weighing down your furrowed brow?
