who will guard the guardians

Singer:underoath

we are nothing

they own our lives

just a statue of a stain in time

we are nothing

they own our lives

spinning in circles

got left behind

we were all warned this would happen

but the words just rang in our ears

machines

built by machines

built by machines

built by machines

built by machines

we can only hide for so long

for so long

before they harvest us for the souls that we have left

but we can only hide for so long

for so long

before they harvest us for the souls that we have left

i swear we cannot wake up from this hell that we live in

but when the sun finally hits our face

we see that we are merely reflections of reflections left by our predecessors

dragged through the mud

chained by the ankle

there is no more running

there is no more escaping

if only god could lay his hands down on this barren land and wake us up

because we are the lost

we are the helpless

we are the forgotten ones

we are the lost

and we are the abandoned

i swear it's worth

saving us

we pray for the sun

to dry us up

i need a clearer head

to see what we're worth

there's still life left down here to revolt

oh

i know what it looks like from there

a loss of control to this place and we're set to extinct

i swear

i swear it's worth saving us

oh i swear

i swear it's worth saving us

oh i swear

i swear it's worth saving us

i swear

i swear. revolt! revolt!

we stood by defeat for so long

for so long

revolt! revolt!

we stood by defeat for so long

for so long

we've been under you're control

we've been under you're control

we will not be a part of your disease
