We live and die in a hopeless world

Laying waste to the innocent

With no regret, I'm sick of it

We create, we destroy

The descendants blade

Will pierce the flesh

We attack and deploy

We are slaves to nothing

But the wars that we fight

It's never ending

The carnage that we see on our TV screens

It's never ending

The hate that tears this world apart

It's never ending

This is just the beginning

Wake up

Don't just sit back

And watch this world fall apart

Everyday is another war

We live and die in a hopeless world

Laying waste to the innocent

With no regret, I'm sick of it

Everyday is another war

We live and die in a hopeless world

Laying waste to the innocent

With no regret, I'm sick of it

Guns firing into masses

Buildings burning, society collapses

We can't just sit back and accept this

We must end, end this terror

This must end

This must end

This must end

This must end

This must end

End this terror

Everyday is another war

We live and die in a hopeless world

Laying waste to the innocent

With no regret, I'm sick of it

Everyday is another war

We live and die in a hopeless world

Laying waste to the innocent

With no regret, I'm sick of it

We create, we destroy

We create

We are slaves to nothing

But the blood on our hands

[Chorus]

Would you tell me about your heart?

Won't you tell me just what that means?

I've been living in shadows

And hearing these echoes

As they follow me

Walk the line

Or society will swallow us whole

Fall behind

And let the hate

Consume you

The strong

They stand up for their sons and daughters

The weak

They flee from the sights of martyrs

We are the fire that won't burn out

Breaking through the veil

Placed over weaker minds

We live in a time where vultures feast and logic dies

[Chorus, x3]

Would you tell me about your heart?

Won't you tell me just what that means?

I've been living in shadows

And hearing these echoes

As they follow me

[Intro]

I will survive

[Verse 1]

I had it all figured out

A career, a future

I had no doubts

I was never a stranger to substance

I never thought it would end up like this

Watching the best of your life slip through your hands and pass you by

Constantly reminded that you’ve clipped your wings and can no longer fly

Time wasted on hearts of stone and stares that cut my flesh

Please tell me there is more to this

[Chorus]

Lift me up so I can see

Past the darkness inside of me

Show me who I'm meant to be

I know that I'm worth saving

Lift me up ('cause I'm worth saving)

I’m worth saving

Lift me up ('cause I'm worth saving)

Show me hope and lift me up

[Verse 2]

This is my cry

This is my cry

This is my cry

(Let me feel cared for)

This is my cry

Let them see who I really am

The world needs to know that

I'm more than just failed aspirations

I am more than nameless

[Bridge]

I've been spit on

I've been cast away

I am more than decay

You'll never hold me down

[Breakdown]

Rise up

I'm not nameless

[Verse 3]

I was once a great man with so much to gain

But now you call me scum with nowhere to turn

I don't care what you say

I will pick myself up and survive today

[Chorus]

Lift me up so I can see

Past the darkness inside of me

Show me who I'm meant to be

I know that I'm worth saving

Lift me up ('cause I'm worth saving)

I’m worth saving

Lift me up ('cause I'm worth saving)

Show me hope

The wounds are bleeding

The end is calling

The end is here

You're in a deathgrip, you're in a deathgrip

(Deathgrip!)

Death will know my name

You're at the world's end, you're at the world's end

(World's end!)

I will be the last one standing

I can see the end

It’s staring right back at me

I brought us here

A place laid to waste by humanity

The storms destroy

The quakes awaken

The end is calling

The end is here

You're in a deathgrip, you're in a deathgrip

(Deathgrip!)

Death will know my name

You're at the world's end, you're at the world's end

(World's end!)

I will be the last one standing

I can see the end

It’s staring right back at me

I brought us here

A place laid to waste by humanity

In a life of choice, I chose to deny

Through all of my sins, I chose to die

There will be nothing when I've lost it all

Please God, let this end painlessly

(My memories are like a noose around my neck)

(I could never let go of all the regrets)

Deathgrip!

You're in a deathgrip, you're in a deathgrip

(Deathgrip!)

Death will know my name

You're at the world's end, you're at the world's end

(World's end!)

I will be the last one standing

I can see the end

It’s staring right back at me

I brought us here

A place laid to waste by humanity
