Blind your eyes, let the sound prevail
Hear the voices, praying for the frail
Before the sunrise
We stand alone
In the light of the moon
As the sky comes down upon us all
The chance we had at redemption
Fills these walls
This apocalypse was tailor made
We built this house on the edge of a razor blade
Resting among the lives
Laying still, in the wake of democracy
Shadows fall as the dawn arrives
Broken bones casting shadows for us to see
Through the ashes, left from the fire
Faded dreams - heaped upon the pyre
Standing ovations for misplaced hypocrisy
We are alone
Hope wanes like the light of the moon
As the sky comes down upon us all
The chance we had at redemption
Fills these walls
This apocalypse was tailor made
We built this house on the edge of a razor blade
On the edge of a razor blade
