I once knew a guy, obsessed with the afterlife
|
Oh what a terrible day that was, he realized he'd wasted all his time
|
Time was ticking by, and he'd been left behind
|
And as the clock tick-tocked his heart did stop and everything he had was fucked
|
And we know not what we do (Can you hear them call?)
|
Will we ever make it through?
|
As they watch us fall from the sky to the ground to the sea
|
Woe is me, woe is me, no one will save you now
|
We can only look away (away!), away-way-way-way-way W
|
e'll not be victims there'll be no victims of to speak
|
And only then will we be free
|
And up will rise the meek
|
And when we fall we will fall together
|
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
|
And where we roam we will roam forever
|
No one will understand what we meant
|
The beaten and the bruised, forsaken, the abused
|
Oh what a glorious day we'll have rising up and claiming all our dues
|
The day will come as sure as the ever-setting sun
|
All of those that self-imposed will find themselves so indisposed
|
And we know not what we do (Can you hear their call?)
|
Will we ever make it through?
|
As they watch us fall from the sky to the ground to the sea
|
Woe is me, woe is me, no one will save you now
|
We can only look away (away!), away-way-way-way-way
|
We will not be victims there'll be no victims of to speak
|
And only then will we be free
|
And up will rise the meek
|
And when we fall we will fall together
|
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
|
And where we roam we will roam forever
|
No one will understand what we meant
|

|
Now, with the line drawn in the wet sand
|
You need to tell us where you stand
|
Sitting, waiting, watching, rotting, everything they warned us of is true
|
Now tell me what we're all supposed to do
|
They're coming after all of us with everything they've got
|
With the fury of a soldier who will answer to his God
|
So how will we fight? When all we have is logic and love on our side
|
And when we fall we will fall together
|
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
|
And where we roam we will roam forever
|
No one will understand what we meant
|
