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!) We'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!) 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 to 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? 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
