"A Line In The Sand" lyrics

"A Line In The Sand"

[Mike Shinoda:]
Today
We stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
Today
I looked for a sign
With flames in my hands
A line in the sand
Between yours and mine
And it came
Like fire from below
Your greed led the call
My flag had to fall
But little did you know

[Chester Bennington:]
Another day
Your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
And face your crime
You'll tell them give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

[Mike Shinoda:]
I had never been a coward
I had never seen blood
You had sold me an ocean
And I was lost in the flood
We were counting on a leader
We were driven by need
But couldn't take temptation
And we were blinded by greed
You were steady as a sniper
We were waiting on a wire
So we never saw it coming
When you ran from the fire
You can try intimidation
And you can try to ignore
But when the time comes calling, yeah
You are gonna get yours

[Chester Bennington:]
Another day
Your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
And face your crime
You'll tell them give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

And so today
Your truth has come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
You're out of time
And you will give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

Give me
Give me back what's mine
Give me
Give me back what's mine
What's mine
Give me
Give me back what's mine
What's mine
What's mine
Give me back what's mine

[Mike Shinoda:]
Today we stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know
