Who I had bred

[instrumental, guitar] Ooooooh [Verse 1] If you had warned me of the traps along this road, Perhaps I wouldn't have strayed from my own abode, If you had guided me to my own truth's embrace, Maybe I wouldn't have surrendered to your embrace, But blindly I followed the path you had laid, Unaware each turn left me more dismayed. [instrumental, guitar] Ooooooh [Chorus] If you had warned me, if you had shown, Maybe I wouldn't have made you my truth's throne, Different choices, a different path I'd tread, Instead, I became what you made, And forgot who I had bred. [acoustic guitar solo] Who I had bred [Verse 2] Your words, like engraved pledges set in stone, Led me far from myself, far from my own zone, In the shadow of your certainties, I wandered lost, Forgetting my own way, my own path, the cost, I raised your words to dogma, truths absolute, Unknowing, I sacrificed my soul, my spirit to refute. [instrumental, guitar] Ooooooh [Chorus] If you had warned me, if you had shown, Maybe I wouldn't have made you my truth's throne, Different choices, a different path I'd tread, Instead, I became what you made, And forgot who I had bred. [acoustic guitar solo] Who I had bred [Chorus] If you had warned me, if you had shown, Maybe I wouldn't have made you my truth's throne, Different choices, a different path I'd tread, Instead, I became what you made, And forgot who I had bred. [acoustic break] [humming] Who I had bred Who I had bred [outro] [end]
