Born of dust and stone Dead hearts, roaming a dying home Life leaves us all White bones upon the shores of time We are but sparks in a darkened world And yet some things were born to burn The napalm in your eyes Is all my cold heart needs! If you bring the matches I'll bring the gasoline! I'm the same bad news as you You're the same kind of "fucked" as me I'm the same bad news as you You're the same, you're the same as me!

Forever fucked! We've waged a war of suffering and deceit One hundred thousand years of dreaming, drowned in a flood of fear and greed Precious heritage, laid waste before the chainsaw's snarling teeth Bleed the earth, bleed her till her heart no longer beats And still we wonder why As the ground beneath our feet turns to dust The air we breathe laced with poisons A legacy of disgust, a legacy of sorrow So we're born with nothing and we die alone We're born with nothing and we die alone Regret is all we have, death is all we know We're born with nothing and we die alone Regret is all we have, death is all we know Forever fucked! Eradicate the truths of history Train our eyes, train our minds so we no longer see the casualties Countless cultures murdered, generations stolen and deceived No guilt to bear, born to consume, to breed, to deny all that makes us free We're born with nothing and we die alone We're born with nothing and we die alone We're born with nothing, we die alone We're born with nothing and we die alone We're born with nothing, we die alone We die alone Forever fucked! We're born with nothing and we die alone We're born with nothing, we die alone

Do you remember, all those nights When we stood side by side? And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes" The night is young, we still have, time! In my dreams I see it ending I see, I see the sky descending While I let the sadness empty from my heart 'Cause in my dreams I feel I'm falling While I hear the darkness calling Don't wake me up until the morning's light 'Cause I've never felt more alive Do you remember, all those nights When we stood side by side? And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes" The night is young Well I never, never, never want to press rewind Every mistake that lead us here I wouldn't change for anything I wouldn't change for anything I wouldn't change for anything Dear girl There is a world that stands between us and them See this was never about giving up Just giving in Because you only live once But you spend your whole life dying So when it all comes crashing Know you're not alone You're not alone! You only live once, but you spend your whole life dying So when it all comes crashing Know you're not alone Alone, alone, alone! We welcome death with all our sins There is no fear when this life ends We welcome death with all our sins There is no fear when this life ends We welcome death with all our sins There is no fear There, there is no fear! Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember, all those nights When we stood side by side And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes" The night is young Do you remember, all those nights When we stood side by side And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes" The night is young We still have time 'Cause I've never felt more alive I've never felt more alive Alive, alive, alive

Oh Yeah, we built our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares Carry our father's sins, from the cradle to the grave We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in Now we ride in the belly of the beast We are the diamonds That choose to stay coal A generation born To witness the end of the world Against the grain Against the odds Against the world Forever the underdogs We are the bastard sons We are the ones that refused to grow cold We are the thorn in your side, we are the thieves in the night And we're coming to take what's ours No regrets, no regrets, we inherit the sins of the fathers Now reap the vengeance No regrets, we inherit the sins of the fathers Now reap the vengeance, go From the ashes of your nightmares From the cradle to the grave We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in Now we ride in the belly of the beast We are the diamonds That choose to stay coal A generation born To witness the end of the world Born to witness the end of the world Yeah Ooh, viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs Viva the underdogs

Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go! You were the first, you wouldn't be the last What the river took, we could never replace And as the pain set in, so did the realization You were never coming home For nights we lay awake Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope And if love could change the course of fate These nights, we move mountains But as the news filtered down the line The impact shook us, shook us to the core Loss struck like a dagger in our, aching hearts So follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go! It's not the years in your life It's not the years in your life It's not the years in your life It's the life in your years! Old soul, so it's said... The day we lost is the day I found regret Not in the waters that embraced you But in the wake your absence left Sink into me! Sink into me! Hold out your hands, sink into me... Hold out your hands, I'll take you away... Hold out your hands, sink into me... Hold out your hands, I'll take you away... Hold out your hands, sink into me! Hold out your hands, I'll take you away! Hold out your hands, sink into me! Hold out your hands, I'll take you away! Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world! Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me! Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go

This soul was born for battle My heart was built for war These eyes see through the lies Filled with disgust Strip back the utopian rhetoric And you'll find a sickness at the core A septic carcass rotting out Filled with disgust We are the dead Empty lives, empty heads Guilty is as guilty fucking does Filled with disgust All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us All we have to choose is the right to obey Pray this time, we'll be our mark on history When the shadow games and agendas Are wiped the fuck away! There is no such thing as different shades of truth It's black or white, do or die Filled with disgust You tie your noose with your lies, but the world keeps turning "Swing low" we cry, but the world keeps turning Turning without you It keeps turning without you 'Cause all we have to believe are the lies that they feed us Born for battle All we have to choose is the right to obey Built for war This soul was born for battle My heart was built for war!... (Built for fucking war) This heart was built for war Swing, swing, swing Swing, swing, swing Swing, swing, swing Swing, swing, swing Swing, swing, swing Motherfuckers! End it! Built for war Built for fucking war

You've gotta fight for your life There is nothing to fear but fear itself The devil dances in idle minds Fight for your life Fight for your life Fight for your life I won't turn back now This will be no slow surrender I won't turn back now Carpe diem, straight for the throat! Conflict, the all-consuming pain Time lost will never be regained Don't waste your breath You can't save your strength The battle rages in the here and now! See, every second that you waste Is time you'll never live again Fight for your life Fight for your life Fight for your life Fight for your fucking life! There is a price to pay Death is a heartbeat away There is a price to pay Death is a heartbeat away A heartbeat away The devil dances in idle minds The devil dances in idle minds Fight, fight, fight! For your life! Fight, fight, fight! For your life! Fight, fight, fight! For your life! Fight, fight, fight! I won't turn back now This will be no slow surrender I won't turn back now Carpe diem, I gotta go straight for the throat! The devil dances in idle minds The devil dances in idle minds The devil dances The devil dances in idle minds The devil dances The devil dances in idle minds

My life is a weathered down shipwreck Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind On a shadow of a dream And my heart is its cargo, a worn out old thing Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe To the east I call home But the west, she is calling From the north, to the south Forever I'm drifting away With more hope than fear Put your head to my chest and you will hear The sound of it beating Is the sound of love leaving The sound of it beating Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in And my life, it aches And my heart, it breaks And I just can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking While one thousand eyes stare back at me But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see One thousand eyes stare back at me But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness

No comfort! No comfort! No comfort! No comfort! Fear in the face of the unknown Born to die in a lonely world Hostility breeds within the void Left by the loss of understanding Hatred, the true face of ignorance Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation Knowledge controlled, power withheld In the name of one, let all blood spill There is no god that could love this world I find no comfort In a life lived on my knees No comfort Divine judgement, I could never believe No comfort! No comfort! No comfort! I could never believe To live a life without regret Is it not enough? To love and to be loved Nothing lasts forever! Nothing lasts forever! Nothing lasts! Superstition rules in the land of the weak Nothing lasts forever! Superstition rules in the land of the weak Fear in the face of the unknown Born to die in a lonely world Hostility breeds within the void Left by the loss of understanding Hatred, the true face of ignorance Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation Knowledge controlled, power withheld In the name of one, let all blood spill There is no god There is no god That could love this world There is no god There is no god There is no god There is no god There is no god There is no god That could love this world! That could love this world! I find no comfort No comfort! No comfort! I find no comfort No comfort! No comfort! I find no comfort No comfort! No comfort!

You want a piece of my mind? There is no peace to find! This is all of your doubt, repaid in kind I am alone in crowded rooms I am a ghost in forgotten tombs Widow maker, you're no company to keep Cause you can fool some people, sometimes But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life You can fool some people, sometimes But you can't fool the world Nobody notices! Nobody cares! As the curtain falls to no one, nowhere Nobody notices! Nobody cares! As the curtain falls Soulless, spineless Cut from the beggar's cloth You fill your skull with their shit till it runs from your mouth Heartless, carcass I've seen more life in dead men's eyes I've heard more truths alone with the night And I'd rather believe in nothing than believe in a fucking lie! I'd sooner fail one thousand times than regret I never tried! Cause you can fool some people, sometimes But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life You can fool some people, sometimes But you can't fool the world You can't fool us all! You howl at the world, but speak a dead language You're selling your soul, but no one is buying You pray to your gods of fashion and industry Heads in the clouds, but you live on your fucking knees On your knees! Nobody notices! Nobody cares! As the curtain falls to no one, nowhere Nobody notices! Nobody cares! As the curtain fucking falls Soulless, spineless Cut from the beggar's cloth You fill your head with their shit till it runs from your mouth Heartless, carcass I've seen more life in dead men's eyes I've heard more truths alone with the night Alone with the night! No! No peace to find!

Dear sky Dear sky, don't cry for me (Cry for me) Be the hope I could never reach Cold sea, please don't let me sink (Don't let me sink) Wrap your arms around me And carry me home I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean I stood in the water and let my guts spill I said, "You and me, we're not so different I see my reflection in all that you do" We both keep our secrets We're both oh so blue My heart is full of darkness I know that yours is too I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside Like the sky, I will always be empty The horizon, my love - forever just out of reach We both keep our secrets We're both oh so blue My heart is full of darkness I know that yours is too Distance was born When the sea and the sky grew apart Loneliness was born The day I let you go I let you go I let you... I let you... I let you go I let you... I let you go I let you go So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean I stand in the water and let... Let my guts spill Let my guts spill We both keep our secrets We're both oh so blue My heart is full of darkness I know, I know that yours is too Dear sky Dear sky, don't cry for me (Cry for me) Be the hope I could never reach Cold sea, please don't let me sink (Don't let me sink) Wrap your arms around me And carry me home Dear sky Dear sky
