Beautiful Cruel World (From "Attack on Titan") Songtext
von AmaLee

Let your heart free and find where you belong
It′s more delicate, more fragile then all life itself
When I set it free it always comes back to me
So, I'll let it find peace in my embrace

The wish you have, it is fighting through
Your pounding heart, that thirst in you
It leaves your mind and you forget in time
′Til it calls to you once again

In this beautiful cruel world, chilling and dark and frightening
Are we never to obtain a sign or a reason why were still alive?
Strong, but we are weak 'cause we fail to see that soon in time
They'll be nothing that we can protect
Nothing but a distant life we′ve left behind
Oh... hey...

Tell me why the sky above fills my heart with grief
All the memories, they find the wind and turn to ash
If their left to be, the warm words, they′ll only freeze
So I'll let them find peace in my embrace


I′ll hide the pain, thoughts of what could be
Inside a dream, a fantasy
It clings to me and I struggle free
But it always drags me back down

In this beautiful cruel world, chilling and dark and frightening
We keep begging death to give us time
But we never will give up the fight
Reaching for the sky
You and I are like flightless birds
For all we know beauty favors lies
More than it adorns the truth left in this world

If we could become notes of a melody
We could take our place upon the wind
We could spread our wings and race
To a place so far away
Bringing love and hope where it's needed most

In this beautiful cruel world, chilling and dark and frightening
Are we never to obtain a sign or a reason why were still alive?
Strong, but we are weak ′cause we fail to see that soon in time
They'll be nothing that we can protect
Nothing but a distant life we have left behind
