Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stripped of all our nature
Turned into a creature
Lost ourself, seal the mouth
And now we'll never see her
I watched it fall today
They took it all away
How'd they think we could live so small?
Fed with scraps of hate and pain
[PreChorus]
I'm higher than death
Than death
Now I'm higher than death
I'm higher than death
[Chorus]
How should we die?
Our beautiful freedom
Can't keep it alive when you can't find the meaning
Look at us now, beaten and bleeding
There's nothing inside, no truth and no reason
I'm higher than death
[Verse 2]
Inhale your defiance
Exhale breath of violence
We'll burn the wealth
Cut ourselves, and bleed out self-reliance
[PreChorus]
They live so cowardly
Let's make their towers sway
Shake the earth
Watch them fall
Sick and tired of apathy
[PreChorus]
I'm higher than death
Than death
Now I'm higher than death
I'm higher than death
[Chorus]
How should we die?
Our beautiful freedom
Can't keep it alive when you can't find the meaning
Look at us now, beaten and bleeding
There's nothing inside, no truth and no reason
I'm higher than death
[Bridge]
It's theft, everything they took from us
And left lies, lies, lies
What's left? Motherfucking selfish greed
As they let us die
[Chorus]
How should we die
Our beautiful freedom
Can't keep it alive when you can't find the meaning
Look at us now, beaten and bleeding
There's nothing inside, no truth and no reason
Look at us now, kicking and screaming
Just to find out it's the lies we believe in
I'm higher than death
[Outro]
There's a light that will never fade
Through the smoke, I can see my flame
Higher than death
Another breath, then I fade away
Holy mother, take me over
I'm higher than death
There's a light that will never fade
Through the smoke, I can see my flame
Than death
Another breath, then I fade away
Holy mother, take me over
Higher than death
