Who Will Guard the Guardians Songtext

von Underoath

We are nothing, they own our lives
Just a statue of a stain in time
We are nothing, they own our lives
Spinning in circles, got left behind

We were all warned this would happen
But the words just rang in our ears

Machines built by machines
Built by machines, built by machines
Built by machines

We can only hide for so long, so long
Before they harvest us
For the souls that we have left

But we can only hide for so long, so long
Before they harvest us
For the souls that we have left

I swear we cannot wake up
From this hell that we live in
But when the sun finally hits our face
We see that we are merely reflections
Of reflections left by our predecessors

Dragged through the mud
Chained by the ankle
There is no more running
There is no more escaping

If only God could lay His hands
Down on this barren land and wake us up
Because we are the lost, we are the helpless
We are the forgotten ones
We are the lost and we are the abandoned

I swear it's worth saving us
We pray for the sun to dry us up
I need a clearer head
To see what we are worth

There's still life left down here to revolt
Oh, I know what it looks like from there
A loss of control to this place
And we're set to extinct

I swear, I swear it's worth saving us
Oh, I swear, I swear it's worth saving us
Oh, I swear, I swear it's worth saving us
I swear, I swear

Revolt, revolt
We stood by defeat for so long, for so long
Revolt, revolt
We stood by defeat for so long, for so long

We've been under your control
We've been under your control
We will not be a part of your disease
