how can we turn back?
devotion has no end.
once we crack we'll crumble,
or will we merely bend?
hold on brother
hold on, bend
the more we see the less we know
the more we'd like to let it go
the more we try to make it stop
the more the world keeps turning
hold on brother
hold on, bend
how can we turn back?
devotion has no end.

living for the present
rushing to the end
try to make it pleasant
dying to pretend
i would wait for you
but you, you quit on me
i, i can feel your gaze on my face
ah, is this real? this obstacle race
scribbles on the pavement
vanish in the rain
secrets in your basement
never see the light of day
well, i would wait for you
but you, you quit on me
i, i can feel your gaze on my face
ah, is this real? this obstacle race
i, i can feel your gaze on my face
ah, is this real? this obstacle race

on the edge of emancipation
step outside the open gate
blood from wine, lamb to slaughter
lead the blind, take the bait
open up your eyes
what's the cause for celebration
vultures in the skies
clouding up our revelations
oh, all the time
all sinners try
all our sons are broken
all the wells run dry
open up your eyes
what's the cause for celebration
vultures in the skies
clouding up our revelations
oh, all the time
all sinners try
phantom, fly away
liberate your mind
leave this world behind
phantom, fly away
don't crucify yourself
rectify the situation
phantom, fly away
don't crucify yourself
free us from this new temptation
phantom, fly away
oh, phantom fly away
oh, all the time
all sinners try
oh, celebration
oh, new temptation
open up your eyes, open up your eyes
yes open up your eyes

we are the silhouettes on paper walls
the rubble clogging up the drain
the visions that we live for
are tumors in our brain
the more we see the less we know
the more we find once we let it go
that's the price we pay, that's the price we pay
the bureau men are here to wish you well
a casualty along the way
the secrets that we fight for
are ransom tlll we pay
the more we see the less we know
the more we find once we let it go
that's the price we pay, that's the price we pay
the more we make the less we gain
the more we find that it's all in vain
that's the price we pay, that's the price we pay
the more we face the less we cry
the more we suffer and wonder why
that's the price we pay, that's the price we pay
how did we end up with the atom bomb
how did the world become so grey
the people that we fought for
got lost along the way

glowing in your garden, pass the time away
lonely hearts will harden when you keep the world at bay
quiet desperation, yearn to find the time
free from condemnation when you leave it all behind
i can see it in your eyes, let it wash across your face
as we age we realize what we are what we chase
did you find the time for all the things you wanted?
did you find the time?
i can see it in your eyes, let it wash across your face
as we age we realize what we are what we chase
i can see it in your eyes, let it wash across your face
let us find out...
did you waste your time?
did you chase it all away?
should we make some time today?
i can see it in your eyes, let it wash across your face
let us find out...
did you waste your time?
did you chase it all away?
should we make some time today?

fire up the war machines
a kiss, a rose, a shattered dream
blood and fire, thunderous choir
love me when i die, won't you love me when i die?
of all the roads that lead to hell
this one's got my number, yeah yeah yeah
this one's got my number
blood and fire, thunderous choir
love me when i die, won't you love me when i die?
blood and fire in the sky
to all my friends i wish you well
love me when i die, love me when i die!
love me when i die, love me when i die
love me when i die!

Burn This City

read all the words in this book before,
thought i'd discover something more,
peace for the soul, food for the mind,
lessons learned left behind.
burn this city, burn this city
burn this city to the ground
how did this all happen so fast?
started ahead, finishing last,
thoughts of a slowly aging man,
fading away wasn't part of the plan.
burn this city, burn this city,
burn this city to the ground,
the ground...
it all falls down
it all falls
i don't know how this started
i don't know what went wrong
i'm left here broken hearted
i'm crumbling to the ground
burn this city, burn this city,
burn this city to the ground,
the ground...
it all falls down
it all falls
somebody said it would end this way,
brick to dust and night to day.
somebody said we're supposed to die,
nobody told me exactly why.
burn this city, burn this city,
burn this city... down.
it all falls down
it all falls...
