"Battle Hymn" lyrics

And this just in
We're killing ourselves slowly
And we're out to sea with cloudy skies
We'll never know the man behind the curtain
And so thank you and goodnight

And we're going down
At least we look good
Roll out the red carpet
'Cause I will not repent
And we're going down
At least we look good
Not wading, but drowning
Close my eyes and start counting

I feel so cold
Slowly my lungs are failing
Maybe there's still hope
Or maybe I'll choke
I took the oath
I prayed for God to save me
But he left me here alone

And we're going down
At least we look good
Roll out the red carpet
'Cause I will not repent
And we're going down
At least we look good
Not wading, but drowning
Close my eyes and start counting

So pal, you ready to pay for my sins?

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
I kneel down at the gates where I was born
Here's to a life I regret
And all my good intentions
I never said that I was heaven sent
Here's to a life I regret
Will I be ending this?

There's no time to get away
There's no place left to run
There's no time to get away
There's no place left for us to run

And we're going down
At least we look good
Roll out the red carpet
I'm not going to repent
And we're going down
At least we look good
Not wading, but drowning
Close my eyes and start counting

We've got blood on our hands
We've got blood on our hands
We're going down as I spit at the sky
The mirror doesn't lie
