Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Steal the light from our eyes
Drain the blood from our hearts
In all of this dark matter
Take the breath from our chest
Break the thoughts in our mind
We're losing time, dark matter
[PreChorus]
Denounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law
[Chorus]
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
[Verse 2]
Eroding away
We're pulling apart
In all of this dark matter
I once heard it said
And it stuck in my head
Arrested the press
No one knows what happened next
[PreChorus]
Renounce the demagogues
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law
[Chorus]
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
[Bridge]
No tolerance for
Intolerance or
No patience left for
Impatience no more
No love lost for
Lost loves
No sorrow for
The unaccountable
[Chorus]
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
