Enemy by Chris Ed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Regret is my concern
My past has took its place
Dwelling on what they done
I see chaos and mess
Lonely in fields of corn
‘Will I die?’ ‘Will I see dawn?’
Amidst hate that had torn
The peace they’d always known
A system built for failure
A stroke of drunken sailor
Could’ve been less deadly
Had Védrine intervened earlier
I am a victim of genocide
My love, my breath I lost
Like angry sea and tide
They took that which matter the most
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Learning to live with, is learning to live without
All we seek is truth, all we see is doubt
My doubt is understandable
The emptiness wasn’t chose
My story is a parable
Can’t re-justify remorse
All was traded to get it back
Sometimes you can see light in the dark
They made me look in the mirror, thus at my life
The vision got clearer, to greatness I strive
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I was far from educated
Yet my lessons had more value
It was a wave of hatred
Which made me see that you
Can only know where you going
Only if you know where you’ve been
And if you got some scars showing
That’s how you will win
[Very long instrumental]
[Verse 4]
In the middle of all this mansions
Were built of memories
Still haunted with questions
Why are there boundaries?
In my world of utopia
I write letters to my friend
All year I feel neuralgia
How I wish this could end
For 24 years are past
Down a history I can’t escape
For a country put to dust
Each year is one I shape
Because it is over, 'cuz it is not
The sailor’s sober, the pact is vowed
But the bleeding done didn’t clot
In fact it’s over in fact it’s not
Regret is my concern
My past has took its place
Dwelling on what they done
I see chaos and mess
Lonely in fields of corn
‘Will I die?’ ‘Will I see dawn?’
Amidst hate that had torn
The peace they’d always known
A system built for failure
A stroke of drunken sailor
Could’ve been less deadly
Had Védrine intervened earlier
I am a victim of genocide
My love, my breath I lost
Like angry sea and tide
They took that which matter the most
[Instrumental]
