The People Under The Stairs |
| There was a time it seemed so long ago |
| The world was painted gold |
| Before the hope began to corrode |
| And all the people awoke to the cold |
| That they had let the evil grow |
| And then came the masses |
| Who questioned the presence of god |
| Can anyone hear us? |
| These cries — these screams — will these footsteps be our last? |
| So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise |
| And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July |
| If ignorance is peace pretend we didn’t say «never again» |
| And let forever belong to the dead |
| The time is now |
| This chance could be your soul redemption |
| Or these tombs will bear your denial, deception, and tragedy |
| One that you’ll help build when you let us burn |
| Biting off your nails won’t heal the scratches on your eyes |
| So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise |
| And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July |
| If ignorance is peace pretend we didn’t say «never again» |
| And let forever belong to the dead |
| And there is no excuse |
| There is no lie big enough to hide behind (our time is now) |
| The blinding lights struck the people divided |
| What were they waiting for (our time is now) |
| So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise |
| And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July |
| If ignorance is peace pretend we didn’t say «never again» |
| And let forever belong to the dead |
| Our time is now |
