Lately this world seems kind of strange, has my perception changed Am I losing the war to enemies that only you can see, or is this empathy Tell me how hard would you fight, if everything was slipping away before you just lay down and die Night falls, still darkness never comes, silence forever gone you just keep dropping bombs on my inner peace, you could not be more pleased, Where is your sympathy Tell me how hard must I fight to keep you from slipping away, When I've done everything to make this right, there's nothing left to save In the Battlegrounds, we're burning, burning down In the Battlegrounds, we're burning, burning down You're gone Got your gun cocked, now you're firing without thinking Oh no, not you, how could you be mistaken now Sitting high on your throne, always throwing the stones and never weighing your own Tell me how hard must I fight to keep you from slipping away When I've done everything to make this right, there's nothing left to save In the Battlegrounds, we're burning, burning down In the Battlegrounds, we're burning, burning down In light of the sun, the damage we've done, this war lingers on and nobody's won When my only escape was the one I betrayed, I'd give anything to take back that day (chorus)
