All this time
We wait on this shallow line
For a martyr to save our lives when you can’t
A warning sign
A lack in reaction time
Mixed with a war to fight keeps us here
The tide is in
It’s time we all learn to swim
These rooftops won’t save our lives and nor did you
Everything’s all right
Nothing’s ok. we’ve been lied to. we’re so frail
You can pray, scream out his name
While they all keep sinking away
A hope a cure
Reminds me this seems absurd to stay
And find who you swore to save, well you can’t
Let us in, let us in we can’t find shelter in time
Life is all we have
Cause everything’s alright. just keep on saying…
Nothing’s ok. we’ve been lied to. we’re so frail
You can pray, scream out his name
While they all keep sinking
All this time’s gone by, the taste of revenge
A blood thirsty grin, it’s all ok
Nothing’s ok
Sing loud — sing louder — sing to feel — sing for everyone
Please sing loud — sing louder — sing to heal — sing for everyone
Sing for life sing for choices
Sing for everyone without voices
Sing for…
Love — laughter — everyone here and after
Fear — hatred — everyone less than sacred
Life — choices — everyone without voices
You can pray while they all keep sinking away
A hero won’t come in time. a martyr won’t save our lives
He can’t
I’ve heard this song so many fuckin times and it still gives me chills. The more you pay attention to the songwriting & its details the better it is. Just fucking superb.
What the shit? Why has this song not blown up all over the world? I was surprised to find a lack of videos on it. Still gives me chills after all of the years. Just epic!
