"My World In Flames" lyrics

I was born into a world that has ceased to exist
I was raised for a life that I have come to resent
Sacrifice, it will never be enough
Sacrifice, it will never be enough

My world in flames, it's closing in
I feel the flames at my back
The way we live, it won't last
A burning building drowned in ash

There's no relief for the common man
Break your fingers with the hammer in your hands
Pull your teeth if that's what they demand
Give them your firstborn, give them your soul

There's no escape until heads start to roll
Buy some time to kick it down the road
But they will take what they feel they are owed
Why must I reap what I haven't sown?
Used and used until you decompose

There's no relief for the common man
Ceaseless pain in a burning world
Ceaseless pain in a burning world
This isn't enough for me

I was born into a world that has ceased to exist
I was raised for a life that I have come to resent
My world in flames
My world in flames
My world in flames
My world in flames
