We walk the earth
Across the seas and headlong deep into the shoreline
When did brutality become a virtue?
Have we forsaken our beliefs, tyranny was never an option
Such outrage, from morals too thin to filter
Out the wrong, the wretched the weak and the many
Once again we crossed the line
We made ruins of this place
To be decent men in indecent times
It never seemed quite real
And yet sometimes the darkest days are all that we have
So should we embrace the light, or choose to close our eyes?
Lying awake, I'm just dreaming of the things
We could have been and the horrors I've seen
This silence has become a friend
Staring into the heart of midnight, my eyes scan for daylight
The clocks tick by and through the years
Oh how they've sung their song
Dismantling the memories, of the dead and gone
But we cannot forgive or forget our choices
We are ashamed of what we've done or worse what we have become
Once again we crossed the line
We made ruins of this place
To be decent men in indecent times
It never seemed quite real
And yet sometimes the darkest days are all that we have
So should we embrace the light, or choose to close our eyes?
Lying awake, I'm just dreaming of the things we could have been and
The horrors I've seen. This silence has become a friend
Staring into the heart of midnight, my eyes scan for daylight
You know I'm just so sick of everyone not giving a $#&@
So if I've said this once ill scream it
Twice until there's nothing else left to say
It has crossed my mind a thousand
Times to believe we can never change
But if you stand by me we'll stay the course
Let's hear you scream out loud all together now
As we march to the sound of their voices, a new order has begun
Once again we crossed the line
We made ruins of this place
To be decent men in indecent times
It never seemed quite real
And yet sometimes the darkest days are all that we have
So should we embrace the light? It's time to open our eyes
Lying awake, I'm just dreaming of the things
We could have been and the horrors I've seen
This silence has become a friend
Staring into the heart of midnight, my eyes scan for daylight
