Lyrics

Oh God
Look at the world we made
We're a generation lacking passionate pain
Our shame is what we all ignore
We're offended by truth, we're unready for war
We'll watch the stars fall down around us
It's nothing but a choice inside
We're clasping hands and casting shadows
But inside our hearts have died

So tear off the blindfold from your eyes
Don't forget what we have all denied
We could rule this world by nightfall
By nightfall, by nightfall

This isn't sustainable
The world's held in balance by paper sheaves
Change is hope

We're passing the money up
They're passing the rules down
It's an endless cycle going 'round and around
We're passing the money up
They're passing the rules down
And all the while our skin drags on the ground

So tear off the blindfold from your eyes
Don't forget what we have all denied
We could rule this world by nightfall
By nightfall, by nightfall
Don't forget the flesh around your bones
The death that you refuse to show
We are all beyond our end but
We walk on, we walk on

When the ravens devoured your flesh
Did you think for a moment you'd have a regret?
All along we've been walking with death
When they stole both your eyes
They left you with breath but

That was their mistake
In this world that they've made
The dead will now be raised
We walk from our graves
If you're offended by truth than stop me
I bet you mindless cowards won't

I will scream until the demons take notice
I will make the earth crumble around your ears
I will fight until the world stands in silence
I will stand until I no longer feel my fear
(I feel fire in my veins
Watch me burn)

So tear off the blindfold from your eyes
Don't forget what we have all denied
We could rule this world by nightfall
By nightfall, by nightfall
Don't forget the flesh around your bones
The death that you refuse to show
We are all beyond our end but
We walk on, by nightfall
