Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore
[Verse 2]
It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane
[Chorus]
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
[Verse 3]
Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage
[Verse 4]
You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real
[Chorus]
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
[Instrumental]
Lead: Robb
[Verse 5]
Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine
[Verse 6]
They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find
[Verse 7]
Why can't you fuckin' open
Open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
[Verse 8]
Why can't you fuckin' open
Open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
