[al:]
[00:07.76] There's enough people that we hate
[00:09.40] that I think we should build a temple
[00:10.95] I guess I'll never relate to the people that I'm supposed to resemble.
[00:13.99] There's an empty cofifn at a wake carved with the words
[00:16.98] "Death to all rebels."
[00:17.72] A purgatory's an empty gate
[00:19.48] when you project love the right love will...
[00:22.61] And the only way to feel peace
[00:24.65] is to make your brothers hurt like hell.
[00:26.44] Just make sure you solute your masters
[00:28.33] 'Cause they'll probably hurt as well.
[00:30.18] And if they don't, I'm sure you'll be able to tell
[00:32.66] 'cause you'll be the one feeling the crashing waves
[00:35.35] and feeling the swell.
[00:37.44] And the apple never falls far from the tree,
[00:39.93] and darling I guess we were the apples that fell right into the weeds.
[00:43.57] We see all these blind sheep taking their turn at the slaughter,
[00:47.75] as they devor our existance under the branches of our father.
[00:52.63] Your skin is worn, my skin is torn.
[00:54.32] I think we should build a house so we have something to burn.
[00:59.90] Your skin is worn, and my skin is torn.
[01:03.31] I think we should build a house so we have something to burn.
[01:07.09] 'Cause I trusted my mind to speak for my heart.
[01:28.99] And I can see those bags under your eyes,
[01:31.73] and the sun is a reminder that we're not afraid to die.
[01:34.86] With rays burning flesh and our shoulders turning red.
[01:38.20] The last hope we had was dragged in the streets by a cigarette.
[01:43.42] Love is only love if it knows no death!
[01:50.65] Father I promise you that I will not fall asleep,
[01:53.98] until someone rips out your tongue, until you cannot speak.
[02:01.84] Father I promise you that I will not fall asleep,
[02:05.08] until someone gouges out your eyes, until you cannot see.
[02:09.01] This happy day will never end.
[02:10.95] This happy day will never end.
[02:12.79] This happy day will never end.
[02:14.58] When all we do is sleep.
[02:26.64] A promise of a victory march is all it took to let these demons go.
[02:33.76] A promise of a victory march is all it took to let my heart beat again.
[02:41.08] A promise of a victory march is all it took to let these demons go.
[02:48.05] A promise of a victory march is all it took to let these demons in.
[02:55.71] And our dignity has no passion but at least it understands
[02:58.99] that if we want to build a mansion,
[03:00.34] we need to cut off our childrens hands
[03:02.53] and devour every asset they have
[03:04.32] until they've fallen to death.
[03:06.31] 'Cause regrets the only way to smile in this world that we've upset.
[03:09.64] When we're just building our financial tower,
[03:11.79] forgetting that some day we'll live under the flowers.
[03:14.87] And I know we tried to get across this moat,
[03:17.82] tried to build a bridge and watch it turn into a boat.
[03:20.67] And maybe we can't climb over the crashing waves
[03:23.30] but at least we can endure them, at least we can try.
[03:26.59] 'Cause if I know one thing, I can tell you everytime you step on a butterfly the consequence is still knowing you'll never die.?
