Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I once knew a guy, obsessed with the afterlife
Oh what a terrible day that was, he realized he'd wasted all his
Time was ticking by, and he'd been left behind
And as the clock tick-tocked his heart did stop
And everything he had was fucked
[Verse 2]
And we know not what we, can you hear them call?
Will we ever make it through? As they watch us fall
From the sky to the ground, to the sea, woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away, away, away-way-way-way-way
[Verse 3]
We'll not be victims there'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
[Verse 4]
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam we will roam forever
No one will understand
What we meant
[Verse 5]
The beaten and the bruised, forsaken the abused
Oh what a glorious day we'll have risen up and claiming all our dues
The day will come as sure as the ever-settin' sun
All of those that self-imposed will find themselves so indisposed
[Verse 6]
And we know not what we, can you hear them call?
Will we ever make it through? As they watch us fall
From the sky to the ground, to the sea, woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away, away, away-way-way-way-way
[Verse 7]
We'll not be victims there'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
[Verse 8]
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam we will roam forever
No one will understand
What we meant
[Verse 9]
Now, with the line drawn in the wet sand
You need to tell us where you stand
Sittin', waitin', watchin', rottin' everything they warned us of is true
Now tell me what we're all supposed to do
[Verse 10]
They're comin' after all of us with everything they've got
With the fury of a soldier who will answer to his God
So how will we fight?
All we have is logic and love on our side
[Verse 11]
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam we will roam forever
No one will understand
What we meant
