Inspired by the fear that we won’t live to see another year

The fire’s in our veins our quest for wealth and lust just feeds the

flames

We're mired in despair shallowness and hatred breeding

everywhere

Well, maybe there's something beneath the surface that we just

don't know

Maybe someone has finally put society on death row

Can't you see our destiny is such that we will never be set

free

Can't you tell we're fighting hell and no one's going to save

us from ourselves

The old ones they decry saying the glory days have all gone by

Complacence all around they think it's all about the here and now

The young ones think they see a future filled with faith and

honesty

Messiah, can't you hear we're looking for a way to make this all

more clear

Maybe that's the way we were always meant to go

And there is no pardon coming we're just counting down the days

on death row

Maybe things are really not as bad as they seem

We’ll wake up in the morning and find it’s all a bad dream

Something’s gotta change if we continue to exist

We can’t go on forever it we’re living like this
