Etna Lyrics

Etna,
The pressure hits and seals your fate
You so fear shame, you so fear hate
(Beware Etna)
Etna,
You think that you can take it all
The first stone even the whole wall
(Beware Etna)

Although some pretend it is a weakness
To break down
You have pushed yourself beyond distress
You know now
To rise from the altar of their fears and
To cool down
Remember all the pain that you have left behind

Etna,
The swelling’s distorting your face
You’ll soon be running out of space
(Breathe out) Etna
Etna,
There is only so much of you
Soon no more left to hide into
(Breathe out Etna)

Although some pretend it is a weakness
To melt down You have pushed yourself beyond distress
You know now
To rise from the altar of their fears
To cool down
Remember all the pain that you have left behind

This old blackmail clipped your wings
Your breath kept this vicious wheel spinning
Furthermore
And pain and fear hungrier than before.

Etna,
When the rock within is breaking
And the grounds underneath are shaking
(Slow down Etna)
Etna,
Your heart races ahead of you
You can’t keep up that much is true
(Slow down Etna)

Although some pretend it is a weakness
To run down
You have pushed yourself beyond distress
You know now
To rise from the ashes of your fears
And to cool down
Remember all the pain that you have left behind

This old blackmail clipped your wings
Your blood kept this vicious wheel spinning
Furthermore
And pain and fear thirstier than before.
