Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So when the saints go marching in
They won't be singing for your sins
They just hope to hell you've learnt something
Living and breathing
[Verse 2]
Everybody dies with a debt
(No silence!)
Watching death is how we live
Take it or leave it
Don't waste your breath
I clear my mind, deny real life, define "Here"
Without borders, possessions or enemies
[Verse 3]
Everybody dies with a debt
We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget
Or confess to a god that we know we only hear in ourselves
[Verse 4]
Bottle it up, let your problems distill
Forget your dreams or fulfil them
Leave no trace, waste away
It's time for change
[Verse 5]
So when the saints go marching in
They won't be singing for your sins
They just hope to hell you've learnt something
Living and breathing
[Verse 6]
Four walls in this prison
But I can still see the river
Four walls in this prison
Lies to poison your decisions in life, take note
[Verse 7]
(Now you tell me why you're living a lie)
[Verse 8]
Don't ignore it, now you know
I saved my soul
I sold it to the open road
[Verse 9]
I found hope in the wreckage of progress
Trophies shattered and stained
("Do what you're told")
There's a mould to be broken
A light burning over your name
[Verse 10]
(And I saved my soul)
But I never said I wasn't the culprit
Never said I wasn't deceived
(I saved my soul)
Just trying to rewrite the wrongs
That were written on me
(I saved my soul)
[Verse 11]
Everybody dies with a debt
We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget
(I saved my soul)
Or confess to a god that we know we only hear in ourselves
[Verse 12]
So when the saints go marching in
They won't be singing for your sins
They just hope to hell you've learnt something
Living and breathing
