Down on your knees, you'll be left behind This is the beginning Watch what you think, they can read your mind This is the beginning I got my mark, see it in my eyes This is the beginning My reflection I don't recognize This is the beginning
We think we climb so high All up the backs we've condemned We face our consequence This is the beginning of the end
You wait your turn, you'll be last in line This is the beginning Get out the way, 'cause I'm getting mine This is the beginning God helps the ones that can help themselves This is the beginning May be too late as far as I can tell This is the beginning
We think we've come so far On all our lies we depend We face our consequence This is the beginning of the end
I should have listened to her So hard to keep control We kept on eating but our Bloated bellies still not full She gave us all she had but We went and took some more Can't seem to shut her legs our Mother Nature is a whore
I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence in high def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism
Hypnotic sound of sirens Echoing through the street The cocking of the rifles The marching of the feet You see your world on fire Don't try to act surprised We did just what you told us Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies
I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence in high def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism
All bruised and broken, bleeding She asks to take my hand I turn and keep on walking What you'd do the same thing in the circumstance I'm sure you understand
I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence in high-def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism
Gun fire in the street Where we used to meet Echoes out a beat and the bass goes Bomb right over my head Step over the dead Remember what you said you know, the part about Life is just a waking dream Well I know what you mean But that ain't how it seems right here and how How can all this be real I can barely feel Anymore
I am trying to see I am trying to believe This is not where I should be I am trying to believe
Blood hardens in the sand Cold metal in my hand Maybe help you understand The way that things will be There's nowhere left to hide 'Cause God is on our side I keep telling myself
I am trying to see I am trying to believe This is not where I should be I am trying to believe
No one's even sure What we're fighting for Or who we even are Anymore I feel So far away
I let you put it in my mouth I let it get under my skin I let you pump it through my veins I let you take me from within They tell us what we can and cannot do Same thing we've heard a hundred times before When I put you inside of me None of that matters anymore
My God Can it go any faster? Oh my God I don't think I can last here
I am you and you are me We will never be alone I have finally found my place in everything I have finally found my home I can leave all of this flesh behind I can see right through this whole façade I am becoming something else I am a turning into God
My God Can it go any faster? Oh my God I don't think I can last here
Well, it's happening, never planned on this You've got something I need, kind of dangerous And I'm losing control, I'm not used to this What you want from me, I'm not used to this
I can't shut it off, this thing I've begun And it's hard to tell just where it's coming from And it's hard to see what I'm capable of And it's hard to believe just what I've become
Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not
I can swallow it down, keep it all inside I define myself by how well I hide I feel it coming apart, well, at least I tried I can win this war by knowing not to fight If I take it all back, some way, somehow If I knew back then what I know right now
Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop? Me, I'm not
I pushed a button and elected him to office and a He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb You pushed a button and could watch it on the television Those motherfuckers didn't last too long ha ha I'm sick of hearing 'bout the haves and the have nots Have some personal accountability The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me Well I used to stand for something Now I'm on my hands and knees Traded in my God for this one He signs his name with a Capital G Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala Don't really see what all the fuss is about Ain't gonna worry bout no future generations and a I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out Don't try to tell how some power can corrupt a person You haven't had enough to know what it's like You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position Now nod your head because you know that I'm right—all right! Well I used to stand for something But forgot what that could be There's a lot of me inside you Maybe you're afraid to see Well I used to stand for something Now I'm on my hands and knees Traded in my God for this one He signs his name with a Capital G
You and I we may look the same But we are very far apart There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be And there is violence in my heart Into fire you can send us From the fire we return You can label us a consequence Of how much you have to learn
You can try but you'll never understand This is something you will never understand Can you hear it now? Hear it coming now? Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees We crawl You can not stop us all You wear our bones Our skin We will not let you in
You have set something in motion Much greater than you've ever known Standing there in all your grand naïveté About to reap what you have sown Time will feed upon your weaknesses And soon you'll lose the will to care When you return to the place that you call home We will be there We will be there
On hands and knees We crawl You can not stop us all Our blood Will stay We will not go away On hands and knees We crawl You can not stop us all Our blood Our grace Will never leave this place
Some say it was a warning Some say it's a sign I was standing right there When it came down from the sky The way it spoke to us You felt it from inside Said it was up to us Up to us to decide "You've become a virus Killing off his host We been watching you with all of our eyes And what you seem to value most So much potential Or so we used to say Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance You piss it all away We heard her cry We have come to intervene You will change your ways and you will make amends Or we will wipe this place clean"
Hey man Please don't make a sound Take a look around Can't you see what's right in front of you? Aah Have a little taste No more time to waste You don't wanna get left behind, because it's all coming down right now Now—how Hard is it to see? Put your faith in me I sure wouldn't want to be Praying to the wrong piece of wood You should Get where you belong Everything you know is wrong Come on, sing along everybody now (God Given) And He gives us sight And we see the light And it burns so bright Now we know we're right When His kingdom come And Thy will be done We have just begun We're the chosen ones I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from His mouth and He wants me to tell you Wait Step into the light How can this be right? I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave Guess you can not win With the color of your skin You won't be getting in to the Promised Land Besides This is just another case You people still don't know your place Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face We are the divine Separated from the swine Come on, sing along everybody now (God Given) And He gives us sight And we see the light And it burns so bright Now we know we're right When His kingdom come And Thy will be done We have just begun We're the chosen ones And He gives us sight And we see the light And it burns so bright Now we know we're right When His kingdom come And Thy will be done And the Father and the Holy Son We're the chosen ones
I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from His mouth and He wants me to tell you
Bow down in position Against the polished steel This is something different You'll like the way this feels No time for asking questions No time for wondering We've heard enough from you now We've heard everything We're going to play a new game You'll put on this blindfold You'll do what we tell you You'll do as your told Used to be the leader Now comes the time to serve Maybe we show some mercy Maybe you get what you deserve
Count down to the end Gotta make it come faster faster Right around the bend Is a coming disaster Count down to the end And we're headed there faster Come on down my friend It's time to meet your master
You've left quite a mess here Under your stewardship You thought you'd figured it out but You'll learn your place in this Might take some convincing For you to see the truth There are so many things We've got in store for you
Count down to the end Gotta make it come faster faster Right around the bend Is a coming disaster Count down to the end And we're headed there faster faster Come on down my friend It's time to meet your master
Say your name Try to speak as clearly as you can You know everything gets written down Nod your head Just in case they could be watching With their shiny satellites
I hope they cannot see The limitless potential Living inside of me To murder everything I hope they cannot see I am the Great Destroyer
Turn it up Listen to the shit they pump into Your head Filling you with apathy Hold your breath Wait until you know the time is right On time The end is near
I hope they cannot see The limitless potential Living inside of me To murder everything I hope they cannot see I am the Great Destroyer
Watch the sun As it crawls across a final time And it feels like Like it was a friend If it's watching us And the world we set on fire Do you wonder If it feels the same?
And the sky is filled with light Can you see it? All the black is really white If you believe it As the time is running out Let me take away your doubt We can find a better place In this twilight
Dust to dust Ashes in your hair remind me What it feels like And I won't feel again Night descends Could I have been a better person? If I could only Do it all again
But the sky is filled with light Can you see it? All the black is really white If you believe it And the longing that you feel You know none of this is real We will find a better place In this twilight
They're starting to open up the sky They're starting to reach down through And it feels like we're living in that split-second Of a car crash And time is slowing down And if we only had a little more time And this time Is all there is Do you remember the time we And all the times we And should have And were going to I know And I know you remember How we could justify it all And we knew better In our hearts we knew better And we told ourselves it didn't matter And we chose to continue And none of that matters anymore In the hour of our twilight And soon it will be all said and done And we will all be back together as one If we will continue at all
Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we've done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones
And you never get away And you never get to take the easy way And all of this is a consequence Brought on by our own hand If you believe in that sort of thing And did you ever really find When you closed your eyes Any place that was still And at peace And I guess I just wanted to tell you As the light starts to fade That you are the reason That I am not afraid And I guess I just wanted to mention As the heavens will fall We will be together soon if we Will be anything at all
Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we've done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones
