We Are the Dead

Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis] We are the dead We are the outcast, exiled, rejects We are the dead, dead, dead But we are not alone [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] Closed in by walls of pain Then told to rehabilitate Bound by concrete with no outlet to recover Fed nothing but trash then declared to be unhealthy Stripped of all we had Then told to find our way out of this hell ourselves [Pre-Chorus: Tom Barber] To function requirеs resistance And to thrive rеquires total defiance Locked away, buried underground Still finding hope when we're beaten down [Chorus: Tom Barber] We are the dead We are the outcast, exiled, rejects We are the dead, dead, dead But we are not alone [Post-Chorus: Tim Lambesis & Tom Barber] To function requires resistance And to thrive requires total defiance Total defiance [Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso] [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] Though the design is for us to fall Deeper into darkness and lose it all There's a depth within humanity That I never knew while I was free [Verse 3: Alex Terrible] Put in a shallow grave With a number to replace our name But no one checked if we're alive So from a common burial we rise [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] Locked away, buried underground Still finding hope when we're beaten down [Chorus: Tim Lambesis & Alex Terrible] We are the dead We are the outcast, exiled But we are not alone Outcast, exiled But we are not alone
