The pain, disorder A cataclysmic dawn We trusted but something has gone wrong We bought it But woke to find it gone And have to 5, 4, 3, 2
The place before The radiation creeps On cats' feet We scatter in the streets She asks me "do you think it's safe to breathe?" It doesn't look that way to me
We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough Afraid, we cower To interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it skip through Our fingers to the bone Watch as the bodies wash ashore Whoah... Nobody lives here anymore
We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough
And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall?
And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long, how... ?
We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough
