Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slowly we watch the degradation of a civilization
The rise and fall of all we are stands before us
[Verse 2]
This place is evil
Is there an answer?
This world is vile
We are the answer?
[Verse 3]
How long until we die?
Die from the inside out
How much is enough for us to see the light?
How much blood must be spilled?
[Verse 4]
Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait 'til daylight dies
Daylight dies
[Verse 5]
When there is blood on our hands
How can we, how can we ignore the truth?
[Verse 6]
Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait 'til daylight dies
[Verse 7]
The cost of one life
The price of one soul
Is too much to bear
[Verse 8]
No more broken promises
Our shattered hearts will heal
No more broken promises
No more
No more
[Verse 9]
Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries (Hear their cries)
Don't wait 'til daylight dies
[Verse 10]
How long until it dies?
How long, how long
How long until it dies?
How long?
How long?
