Lyrics The descent (pages 1 & 2) Manic Street Preachers

 805

The descent (pages 1 & 2)


Will my kingdom disappear and fade away
Will sleep overcome the hurt and then decay
I can't be poisoned and you will not make me cry
I've cleansed my ugliness & I've cleansed my paranoia

The winner takes it all
My baby teeth are gone
Into a better place
That I have yet to go
Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
This is my last descent

Have my expectations gone too far again
Do I have the courage of the books I've read
Do you understand the pain we're going through
There is no need to leave us* beaten black and blue

The winner takes it all
My baby teeth are gone
Into a better place
That I have yet to go
Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
This is my last descent

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
The pages that you left

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh rock band formed in Blackwood in 1986. Known for their post-punk sound and often political and introspective lyrics, they have achieved great critical and commercial success in the UK. The band's history is however inextricably linked to the mystery surrounding founding member and lyricist Richey Edwards, who disappeared in 1995 after recording only three albums. The group continues to release music and perform successfully, keeping Edwards' memory alive through his powerful words. Among their most representative songs: 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'A Design for Life' and 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next'.
