Too Many Omens Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's too many omens
That I didn't [?]
They helped me through the wire
And they pull at the teeth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And they tell me that they own me
That they hold me, but they never control me

[Chorus]
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me

[Verse 2]
I'm known to be ferocious
Towards my enemy
Though gentle in the heart
I'll beat what I've seen
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the thunder, it keeps rolling
But I'll stay all the way 'til the closing

[Chorus]
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
But I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
