Take out all the bad in the world What's left in it? Where's the next gleaming hope Indefinite I would like to take a stand but not alone Gave you what I had give And it's not enough I need a shred of purpose When living gets rough I need a place unbroken to call my home Dark times Of our war crimes When the bombs we build come back down through the roof We are live wires In the crossfire And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof I'm a dead man In the wasteland I'm a soldier fighting for superstition Under search lights In the long nights We've been written like dystopian fiction Love exists in pain even in Our tragedy When the world spins And we lose our gravity Nobody can shoot me down, not just yet Voices of the crowd We're screaming into the rain When those above us Have long gone insane Give me the strength I need to forget Dark times Of our war crimes When the bombs we build come back down through the roof We are live wires In the crossfire And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof I'm a dead man In the wasteland I'm a soldier fighting for superstition Under search lights In the long nights We've been written like dystopian fiction I don't want to look back now But I can't find the way out So I won't do it on my own We are stronger now as one We will never have to run Or face the world alone Dark times Of our war crimes When the bombs we build come back down through the roof We are live wires In the crossfire And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof Dark times Of our war crimes When the bombs we build come back down through the roof We are live wires In the crossfire And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof I'm a dead man In the wasteland I'm a soldier fighting for superstition Under search lights In the long nights We've been written like dystopian fiction
