[Lancelot] In this world we are more or less entwined in a race Losing ground, it's a brittle mess, designed to decay, We never dream to think of others, Lie in the face of truth We're ensnared in the ties of love then bound by a ring Spring is short as the cries above, resound, deafening But 'silence' greets the brink of summer, "Why?" meets the winter's chill Show me the reason why we put chains on our lovers How can we justify this king of control? Show me the reason why we enslave one another We swear to keep our promises, in time we renege, And though we sleep in the dragon's lair, we're blind to the flames We're callous, disrespect our brothers, Fight in an age of fools Show me the reason why we put chains on our lovers How can we justify this king of control? Show me the reason why we enslave one another
