lyrics

Do you see men dying/ While we pledge allegiance, a night horrifying/ A tidal wave's gonna crest/ One nation under arrest
Burn at the altar of our innocence/ Still like the night inside our eyes
Hey it might not be okay/ There's only so much time we can afford to waste/ I don't wanna burn like a bonfire and fade away

I heard a voice off in the distance/ We have a choice: death or resistance/ I promise you I won't let the fear show/ And I pledge to never let you go

Never once have we gotten far by following the rules/ Won't learn a lesson if we just heed the words of fools
We are the hemlock they swallow/ We are the cracks in the facade/ We are the ones who won't follow/ We are the faithful and we are the god

There's only one place that this road will end/ I let my guard down but never again/ I'll never trust in a liar dressed up as a friend/ I let my guard down but never again/ Never again/ Never
