God and Country Lyrics

The light crawls across the land
To signal a new day
We have been awake all night
Alive countless miles away

But we decay inside
The distance kills
And if we survive
Will we be human once again

Are you there
Are you listening to me
And do you care
This is tearing me apart
They all stare
As we march off to our death
Is this the end
Is this the last beat of my heart

The blood spills across the sand
It seeps down through every grain
An hourglass of fading life
Draining out through strangers' veins

Are you there
Are you listening to me
And do you care
This is tearing me apart
They all stare
As we march off to our death
Is this the end
Is this the last beat of my heart

The dark crawls across the land
The end of one more day
Will we make it through the night
Alive a million miles away

Are you there
Are you there
Are you listening to me

And now we know the human animal
Can fall apart so easily
And all the armor on this earth
Can't shield us from truth
That we are fragile pointless creatures
Playing games with all we have
This life, the fading spark of hope
The death of innocence and youth

Are you there
Are you there
Are you listening to me
