Colony (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia
The sound from broken homes, we used to always meet here
I want for hell break loose, couldn't find another reminder
It's just that life empowers, it's just grief and care

[Verse 2]
Can't you help me? Can't you spend some time?
Oh all the things, you torture the mind
Oh, by my surprise that I could lead us through
We break up and go in our ways

[Verse 3]
I can't see why all these confrontations
I can't see why all these dislocations
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy
Stood alone here in this colony
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, this colony

[Outro]
Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand
And God in his wisdom made you understand
And God in his wisdom took you by the hand
And God in his wisdom made you understand
And God in his wisdom took you by the hand
And God in his wisdom made you understand
And God in his wisdom took you by the hand
And God in his wisdom made you understand
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, this colony

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 [?]
