Текст песни Siren - So Far To Go

2. So Far To Go

The hammer forges binding chains
The sickle draws blood from my veins
I look off into distant skies
All I see is the red they force into my eyes
The pressure hastens my demise
I’ve heard there’s so much more
Calling me to freedom’s shore
Should I entice such deadly fate

I crawl the ground in rabid flight
Blazing eyes search through the night
Razor wire of gleaming steel
Ten thousand volts the coiled blades conceal
I sense the dogs are on my heal
Can’t tell my sweat from tears
A shadowed figure laughs and rears his head
Can be this the end

So many times when they have dreamed
I’ve sat atop the eagle’s wings
Across this land he flies so great and free
And there a lovely lady stands
She lights my way with torch in hand
She stands for liberty - and the free

Beyond the wall I run for life
Gunfire burning up the night
I’ve got to make a hundred yards
I know that they can only go so far
The blood of freedom now pumps through
my heart
Sweet freedom up ahead
I thought for sure I would be dead
Instead I’m free

So many times when they have dreamed
I’ve sat atop the eagle’s wings
Across this land he flies so great and free
And there a lovely lady stands
She lights my way with torch in hand
She stands for liberty - and the free
