"State Decay" lyrics

"State Decay"

Sail on your mistakes
This world has yet to make a soldier of me
I'm losing faith, I'm losing pride
I'm filled with vengeance, I've chosen my side

It's not enough to be a casualty
I'll never bow to this insanity
Screaming set me free
Dig our heels into the face of supposed democracy

Behold
The absent the king has shown his hand to us
Arise

We fell into the waves that carried this tragedy
Somewhere along the way the skies turned grey
Resist and stand united
Through grief and dismay
This kingdom left divided
Witness the state decay

Bring them to trail to hang in the square
A constant reminder of the hatred we share

It's not enough to send the help they need
They'll never bow to this insanity
Screaming to set them free
Dig your heels into the face of supposed democracy

Behold
The absent the king has shown his hand to us
Arise

We fell into the waves that carried this tragedy
Somewhere along the way the skies turned grey
Resist and stand united
Through grief and dismay
This kingdom left divided
Witness the state decay

Light the sculpture up, we paid in pain
No prison cell can hold us, in pain we gain
Light the sculpture up in flames
Hammers fall to break these chains
The state decays
For it's nothing without us

And as we lay the fallen to rest in the ground
Their families remember that peace can not be found
With pain, we paid

Witness the state decay
