Lyrics

[02:31.88] Standing on the backs of angels
[02:35.36] Destined to create
[02:37.00]
[02:38.67] Mounting the attack
[02:40.42]
[02:40.93] While heroes carry your weight
[02:44.47]
[02:46.54] We spiral towards disaster
[02:52.41]
[02:53.33] Survival fading faster
[02:59.52]
[03:15.06] Riding out the wave
[03:17.30] Content to feed off the machine
[03:20.29]
[03:22.05] Bleeding us to death
[03:24.22] The new American dream
[03:27.85]
[03:29.04] You're blinded by your hunger
[03:35.76]
[03:36.84] Beware your days are numbered
[03:42.89]
[03:55.50] Tears fall from the shameless
[04:01.24]
[04:02.19] Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
[04:09.36] Selfless are the righteous
[04:15.40]
[04:16.35] Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
[04:22.65]
[04:38.16] Blurring lines drawn in between
[04:41.34] What is right and what is wrong
[04:44.14]
[04:44.82] Victims on the radar string us along
[04:49.70]
[04:51.81] We're on to your agenda
[04:57.63]
[04:58.82] The dead end road to nowhere
[05:05.13]
[05:24.42] Tears fall from the shameless
[05:30.41]
[05:31.10] Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
[05:38.11] Selfless are the righteous
[05:44.42]
[05:45.35] Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
[05:51.59]
[06:58.10] Tears fall from the shameless
[07:04.04]
[07:04.85] Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
[07:11.84] Selfless are the righteous
[07:18.08]
[07:18.95] Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
[07:25.19]
[07:25.82] Selfless are the righteous
[07:31.93]
[07:32.93] Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
[07:39.48]
[07:40.48]
