aLIEz (Amanda Lee English Translation)
[Intro] Am Em G D (x2)
[Verse 1]
Am
I will rise in resistance
Em
Sing the oath of rebellion
Am
End cease-fire on this high wire
Em
Head to toe in vanity
Am Em
When those eyes in the mirror stare back at me
Am Em
I’m reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
Wipe away the weakness
D
Will you let those scars define you?
Am Em
Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory?
G D
Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me
Am Em
Wearing down my fight till nothing’s left
[Chorus 1]
Am
I SAY CRIER
Em
I SAY LIAR
G
I SAY RISE IN HELL
D Am
I stand gazing down at death as they say … WAR
Em
I’LL WAGE WAR
G
I HATE WAR
D
They say fight for peace… but what is that?
Am Em G D (x2)
[Verse 2]
Am
Raise a shield to the bullets
Em
Hold my ground, all I got now
Am Em
But I’m defenseless, all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet
Am Em
I turn from the mirror, that desperate plea
Am Em
I refuse and can’t believe those eyes belong to me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
Come on, one more breath
D
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Am Em
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?
G D
Trying to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
Am Em
But now I regret – what have I done?
[Chorus 2]
Am
I SAY CRIER
Em
I SAY LIAR
G
I SAY RISE IN HELL
D Am
I am just about to BURST as they say … WAR
Em
I’LL WAGE WAR
G
I HATE WAR
D
There’s no end to this, can’t you see that?
Am Em G A (x2)
[Bridge]
Am Em
A cowardly façade weaves into my voice
G A
As I call for war, blinded by this far-fetched noble cause
Am Em
Although I had a choice, I believed the lies
G A
But it’s all a dream, ending when I open up my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
Come on, one more breath
D
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Am Em
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?
G D
I tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
Am Em
But now I regret – what have I done?
[Chorus 3]
Am
I SAY CRIER
Em
I SAY LIAR
G
I SAY RISE IN HELL
D Am
I stand gazing down at death as they say … WAR
Em
I’LL WAGE WAR
G
I HATE WAR
D
They say fight for peace… Does it exist?
[Ending]
Am Em
My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it?
G D A
Can you, can you tell me if this “dream” was worth it?
Am Em
My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it?
G
Can you, can you help me?
D A
Wake me from this nightmare
