Lyrics Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn

One Foot in Front of the Other

How did I get myself into all of this mess?

How did I end up with this deadly holocaust?

How did I come to this when every song I sing

is nothing but a list of pain and suffering?

We never will forget, and no, we will not forgive.

We walk along to die, yet we don’t know how to live.

How do we change our world to what we want it to be?

How do we move beyond all of this misery?

One foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one…

I’ve been in chains since I was nothing but a kid

We don’t know freedom, not quite sure if we ever did

Now that we’ve found it, how do we make use of it

We’ve been commited… to what we always did

I used to have a home, now I don’t even have a name

I’m nothing but a number, here we are all the same

We’ve lost so much, so many of those we love are dead

How do I get these memories out of my fucking head

One foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one…

How do we bear this burden far too much to carry

How do we change the prison to a sanctuary

We’ve been kept from the light, no one ever gave a damn

If I’ve no one to fight, how do I know who I am?

One foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one…

We waged a war with hell, and look, we still survive.

But just because we live does not mean that we’re alive.

We’ve won the final round, but how to enjoy the win?

When we’ve been broken down and we’ll never know what could’ve been.

Heaven help us where do we begin?

One foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one foot in front of the other foot

In front of the one…

One!

One!

One!
