LYRICS

I was lost and confused
I’ve been abused by the old guard
I didn’t know where to turn
So I stayed and ran
At their hearts

And pull me down my old friend
‘Cause I have lost my way

I sow disease like a rat
Sequenced by the attack
Show me the corpses
You bring your blood cells down
I’ll rip you limb from limb
The horses are out

And pull me down my old friend
‘Cause I have lost my way
Life breeds fear on the crossfire
And empires walk away

You are here no time to run
Stay and fight or death will come
You are here no time to run
Stay and fight or death will come
You are here no time to run
Stay and fight
You are my light
You are my sun

Now this is just the beginning
Always knew I’d be quitting
Over your skies
Now this is just the beginning
Always knew I’d be quitting
Over your skies

Now this is just the beginning
Now this is just the beginning
Now this is just the beginning
Always knew I’d be quitting
Over your skies
