Lyrics

[Verse 1]

God bless us, everyone

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!

God bless us, everyone

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!

[Chorus]

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

God bless us, everyone

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

Oh, like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Verse 2]

God save us, everyone

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?

For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue

The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No!

God save us, everyone

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?

For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue

The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No!

[Chorus]

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

God save us, everyone

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?

Oh, like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Verse 3]

Oh, like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Bridge]

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go

[Outro]

It can't be outfought, it can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!

God bless us, everyone

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!

God bless us, everyone

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun
