Album “Tango on a Wild & Rough Terrain”: 9. Surrender (Lyrics)

Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[Verse 1]

Looking to conquer

The storm rages

Drenching the pillar

Roaring the thunder

Feverishly slithers

Every inch

[Verse 2]

Heart racing

Pouring

Raising the water

So high

Over and over

Yet…

Could never quite break the dam

[Chorus]

A frustrating hunger

A desperate endeavor

A bittersweet failure

Time to surrender

The storm retreats

[Verse 3]

I gave it my all

Every tear, every call

Built a bridge, strong and tall

But you let it crumble, let it fall

[Verse 4]

Held the sails through the gale

Navigated each betrayal

Hoped our love would prevail

But my efforts were to no avail

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Poured my heart into the fight

Loved you through the darkest night

Thought we’d find our way to light

But there’s no hope in sight

[Verse 6]

Now I see the truth unfold

The lies, the stories, all been told

It’s time for me to break the mold

And let this chapter close

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Never thought I’d say goodbye

But I’ve seen through every lie

It’s time to spread my wings and fly

Leave the past, reach for the sky

[Chorus]

[Outro]

The storm retreats, the sky is clear

No more shadows, no more fear

I’ll find my way, my path is near

It’s time to move on from here
