Growl:
The artist's palette falls
The paint is spilled with blood
Someone shot him down
Left him without a soul
Sing:
His body's laid to rest and
underground he'll stay
With hopes to resurrect
and live again
Growl:
another day
Growl:
Now they decide
who lives and dies Now!
Growl:
His peers won't come around
They're too disgraced to face
Another soldier down
His life work's a waste
Sing:
And now these walls are bare
No one pretends to care
A distant memory
His masterpiece
Growl:
In disrepair
Growl:
Now they decide
who lives and dies
Now they will hold you back
Growl:
They will hold you back
They will hold you
Growl:
We stand tall and illuminate
We fight through and prevail
We don't stop where
you'd be giving up
We won't ever fail
Growl:
A martyr takes his hand
To make him live again
With savage sleight of hand
He'll force his legs to stand
Sing:
A sick and gutless joke
A serenading hoax
Interrupted peace
A waste of time
A pathetic excuse for hope
Growl:
The sleepless nights have no compassion
Sing:
And the dreams that come aren't true
Growl:
A charade of lies unconscious
And so much left to be proved
Sing:
But the sun will rise and fall again
And the nights will start to shorten
The memories will fade
Growl:
into darkness
You!!! can't let it go!!!
Growl:
But your world is turned upside down
It's a panic you can't release
Once you have it you just can't
Ever ignore it
That's when you realize your best
Days are behind you
And all you ever
live for Is regret
You can't take it away (You! )
End in Cm(hold)
You can't take it away (You! )
