Firefall

We used to think we were the same as everybody else
And everybody was like us
We were the faces in the crowd

Stood with an army of soldiers without a war
Joined voices without a song
We were never wired to fit in

Wind us up up up
Make us run run run
Watch us go go go
Make us all work harder
Wind us up up up
Make us run run run
Push us right into the burning firefall
We dance in the flames
Where others crumbled, we will rise again
When ashes are all that‘s left
We will still be here standing

We traded blackmail, second guess each other’s minds
Brother v brother could fight another until one dies
Have we forgotten who we are?

Take one step forward to the giant mouth
Feeding the monster, you sacrifice
But it can’t be satisfied

They wanted more
So they gave us the shovels to dig our graves up
They wanted all
So they set us alight to burn us alive in the firefall
We dance in the flames
Where others crumbled we will rise again
When ashes are all that’s left
We will still be here standing
