Shoot the Messenger Lyrics


1. Shoot The Messenger

This fate unspoken twice written to page

Now burnt alive by a decision

And now removed until the angels fly

There’s a point where one of us will fail

Shoot the messenger

The winding road

Alone with destiny

Shoot the messenger

The consequence

Alone will take me

Well I broke the laws you wrote

Across your face the instrument of my destruction

Now you’ll be forgotten ‘till the end

Of the day

Nevermore will we look into your eyes

Shoot the messenger

The winding road

Alone with destiny

Shoot the messenger

The consequence

Alone will take me

The fight has come to your doorstep

To your doorstep

Some day

You will find me here

On that day you’ll know

You’ll know this fate unspoken twice written to page

Now burnt alive by a decision

And now removed until the angels fly

There’s appoint where one of us will fail

Shoot the messenger

The winding road

Alone with destiny

Shoot the messenger

The consequence

Alone will take me
