All That Follows

We are the numbered with one ambition Erase the valleys that feed them, their wealth laid to waste Bound to a judgment we will never get behind Words of dissent will cast you out Bought and sold to the hands of fate like cattle to the wolves Cowering in silence while we cover the bones Living every nightmare, going blind through the red Our sorrow defines us while vulturеs assign our end All along, it's always been this way (This way) Locked in isolation, thrown away This is my sevеrance Hate breeds hate Eradication of what we knew Hate breeds hate I have renounced my faith in you Counting down to violence, breaking down in the weight of our ignorance Cut their cords, defy their needs, bite the hand until it bleeds Destruction of a fallacy Erase the valleys that feed them, their wealth laid to waste Would you burn your past, your only anchor? Burn your past, your only anchor Set it off We will wipe the canvas blank Reject all mistakes When it's time to wash the debt There'll be no price that can pay it Bought and sold to the hands of fate like cattle to the wolves Cowering in silence while we cover the bones Living every nightmare, going blind through the red Our sorrow defines us while vultures assign our end All along, it's always been this way (This way) Locked in isolation, thrown away This is my severance All along, it's always been this way (Been this way) Locked in isolation, thrown away This is my severance Hate breeds hate Eradication of what we knew Hate breeds hate I have renounced my faith in you

Making circles in the dark to find we're clouded We're lost No use counting on the stars to guide us over it This constant motion Bright minds resigned to silence, I'm done living through this lens Given the light of solace is all I have By waking up, are we starting over? We're building our defense to avoid making our amends We're kneeling to the forces that made us powerless We move on and forget Is it possible to not be swеpt into violence? Why is it just so hard to fight it? Yeah (Yеah, yeah, yeah) They'll turn this on its head They'll say you're one of the sheep, placated and on display To blood-soaked lies under a branded cross Remiss to think that I'd be fixated on what you think You're in my way Temporary lies told by temporary kings If you think that you're beside yourself, you're already ahead By waking up, are we starting over? Rebuilding our defense to avoid making our amends We're kneeling to the forces that made us powerless We move on and forget Is it possible to not be swept into violence? Why is it just so hard to fight it? Through all the problems and all the pain When all the answers are all the same We move on and just forget Through all the problems and all the pain When all the answers are all the same We move on If we could choose to just believe we hold nothing for ourselves Then we could live our lives like one disillusioned with above Or we could rot inside our shells, too scared to face the truth We are slaves to our own laws So much for the fist of God Now that you're gone, I'm questioning everything But I'm convinced of this, you were in my way You were in my way

That's it for me Abandoned every fear, now I'm on the attack I'm running and I can't turn back Everything was made clear when you showed your hand I'm running and I can't turn back Hit the floor What the fuck do you take me for? Hit the floor What the fuck do you take me for? Bow Bow your head to this kingdom Bow your head to this kingdom Right here on the floor, you know how this will end Once loved, I'm living a curse, the weight is on my back A portrait of the things I lack Ever growing resentment Compounded by the words you say just to save face That's it for me Abandoned evеry fear, now I'm on the attack I'm running and I can't turn back Everything was madе clear when you showed your hand I'm running and I can't turn back Lies surround me They infect my bones No chance in giving up Lies surround me They infect my bones Now fall head first Hit the floor What the fuck do you take me for? Hit the floor What the fuck do you take me for? There's no love left in your eyes None that I can see, at least none for me I see right through the disguise Mental vacancy, am I just prey? And finally with a silent sting, my heart began to bleed And finally with a silent sting, my heart began to bleed And finally with a silent sting, my heart began to bleed "Et tu, Brute?" Death is our breaking point Catechized my fate (My fate) I plugged it right into the vein (Into the vein) Now you challenge my faith (My faith) All while that blade is still glistening Once at my back, now you lie to my face And you know what the only difference is? You think your season will change But only winter still remains But only winter still remains

Wake These silver tongues, they cut the ones that we love The future's starting to feel like a memory Are we enough? (Are we enough?) Or is this part of the dream? Nothing feels like it matters when the silence screams I can't find what's left for me besides another rise and fall It took all that's left of me, and doubt is still in the way I need to know how this ends without you The words all bleed off the page I can't find what's lеft of me Do we make it out? Do wе make it out? Break down The walls, they cave while we are hopelessly divided before the fall Blood fuels the fire, we carry the weight of treason Is this all we know? I can't find what's left for me besides another rise and fall It took all that's left of me, and doubt is still in the way I need to know how this ends without you The words all bleed off the page I can't find what's left of me Do we make it out? Do we make it out? Only as far as the rise and fall Only as far as the rise and fall It never goes away We're all just keeping it down We are equal now We all know our fate We're living pages of our prophecy Hope is on its knees But no one tells us how the story ends Left without the key Will we be swallowed by the sun Or just left to rot? Will they remember when we're gone? What will we become?
