LYRICS

ORPHAN
Ten years ago today
My parents went away
Then this orphan girl
Thrust into the world
Made a pledge to save the day

So I’ve been told a lot in life
In each one rain must fall
I try my best to do what’s right
No one can save them all

SOLACE
Didn’t know what to say
Had to be another way
But my prognosticating friend
He told me that the world would end
Unless I sucked it up and blew those two away

Fate said evil’s my lot in life
For the good of all
Two lives aren’t worth Armageddon, right?
The pride before the fall

ORPHAN/SOLACE
Two shots, one gun
Alone and on the run
And I… will never give up the fight

ORPHAN (overlapping with Solace below)
So I’ve been told a lot in life
In each one rain must fall
I try my best to do what’s right
No one can save them all

SOLACE
Fate said evil’s my lot in life
For the good of all
Two lives aren’t worth Armageddon, right?
The pride before the fall

ORPHAN/SOLACE
Two shots, one gun
Alone and on the run
And I… will never give up the fight

Each day’s the same
All pawns in someone’s game
And I… have no choice but to survive
