Lyrics

A Means to an End (Live in Paris)

[Verse 1]

A legacy so far removed

One day will be improved

Eternal rights we left behind

We were the better kind

Two the same, set free too

[Chorus]

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

[Verse 2]

We fought for good, stood side by side

Our friendship never died

On stranger waves, the highs and lows

Our vision touched the sky

Immortalists with points to prove

[Chorus]

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

A house somewhere on foreign soil

Where aging lovers call

Is this your goal, your final needs?

Where dogs and vulturеs eat

Committed still I turn to go

[Chorus]

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

I put my trust in you

In you, in you, in you

Put my trust in you, in you

In you, in you, in you
