But the lyrics itself tell of a future where Team RWBY faces the harsh truth and is forced to make harsh decisions, and since its the future I don't believe that it 'lied' to us in any way at all.

If anything, the anime FAILED the music AND the concept, because I feel SERIOUSLY pumped listening to the music and going through the lyrics. RT seriously needs to hustle up big time. Like someone else said in another place, it lied by proxy. Monty wanted the volume to be like the lyrics implied, but then they decided to include X, then Y, then Z, and in the end they didn't have enough time. Quasi-important stuff too, so I don't complain.

However, it still doesn't change the fact the lyrics lied, regarding this volume. Even if it will become true later, it lied now. It's like with Velvet, they said she was going to get a bigger role this volume. By the end, she did NOTHING. She may do something later in Vol.3, but they said she would get a bigger role in Vol.2, which she didn't.
