Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Oh, rescue me)

Oh, to be blessed with the godless mistake one

One day, you soon will find

(Just a warning)

You're gonna pay for the abominations

It's only matter of time

[Verse 2]

I wait, I hope, I pray for better days

(They seem so few and far between)

The fear, the pain, this hate, it's not for me

(We're not so different, can't you see?)

[Verse 3]

Your lies will tear you apart

Will take you alive, won't spare you at all

I'll tell you, all your lies will tear you apart

I'm calling all to arms, so everyone and all

It's time hear your voice, you've got the right

[Verse 4]

(Oh, rescue me)

You better pray for your commiseration

You're almost out of time

(Just a warning)

Your fate is left to a different generation

You know they won't be kind

[Verse 5]

You take this hate and package it to sell

(To victims of your great divide)

You've no capacity to even feel

(I hope you get this through your mind)

[Verse 6]

Your lies will tear you apart

Will take you alive, won't spare you at all

I'll tell you, all your lies will tear you apart

I'm calling all to arms, so everyone and all

It's time to hear your voice

[Verse 7]

Because now I won't let you just break me in two

There's no way that I would give in

Those words that you say, of hate and dismay

Will lose you your place in the end

[Verse 8]

Your lies will tear you apart

I'll tell you, all your lies will tear you apart

I'm calling all to arms, so everyone and all

It's time to hear your voice, you've got the right
