Elegy - Unorthodox Methods lyrics

Your rating:


[Music: Henk van der Laars]

[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]



In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition.

Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both.

She tries to raise him as a good and honest person. 

Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made, 

but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas, 

cause the child to develop a warped perception of life.



[Verse] 

Danger lurks in every place 

A mother fights to protect her child 

Tradition stipulates its way 

It's easy for them to say 

Influences all around 

Hard to change, creatures of habit 

Sacrifices must be made 

A few white lies she must tell



[Bridge] 

The pressure lay on her shoulders 

Decisions unfair 

Desperately seeking comfort 

Searching for strength not there



[Chorus] 

Have no fear 

Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods 

Alone and afraid, different from others 

All alone 

She carries the strain, the future uncovers 

Hide your tears



[Verse] 

Years of hardship and of pain 

Corruption lingers in all the dark corners 

Her efforts are in vain 

His perception of life has changed 

Don't waste your time 

He's lost, it's time to pray



[Bridge] 

Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame 

Believing that life will bring him strength 

The courage to find his way



[Repeat chorus]
