Bleeding Sun (Acoustic Medley)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sinners from their homes abroad Servants of a lesser god They thought it stood to reason To crucify their treason Redemption came from triggers pulled Young and weak thrown to the wolves I feel them, I feel them One in all, and all for some The desperate carry loaded guns Peace was lost to violence The righteous stood in silence Inaction of those who knew Betrayed the remaining few I f5ar them, I fear them [Interlude] H5re we stand, on holy ground I have heard the thunderous sound Of millions saying, "Wake up, set us free" [Chorus] So, how can I embrace the power Of flesh and this machine? I'll infect the system Behind all the scenes Humanity's darkest hour I will not run And I can save the souls still under This bleeding sun [Post-Chorus] More than a human Army of one God of the wasteland The Bleeding Sun Fully ascended The key inside Immortal angels Destined to die [Verse 2] Days in neverland grow darker The forbidden moments come To a hasty resolution When the battle starts with one [Verse 3] Take me to the water where the river meets the sea Let the memory of rising tide come washing over me I saw fire consume the trusting, with the victims still na�ve And so they bleed And so they bleed Sing in grief, a requiem The curse of our millennium These souls keep whispering from the river beds An end to all these violent means Alive in these red water dreams Their haunted burdens stirring in my head On streets still running red [Bridge] One of us here's a glitch in the system Someone's been hiding in plain sight (On streets still running red) One of us set the gears in motion Someone sent from the other side To break us, take us on our knees To sabotage the movement we uphold So I've been told We're losing control Let the broken heroes rise Let the victors take their prize No one wins when justice dies War has let this age begin It's where we've gone and where they've been What a state that we're in Here in oblivion Here in oblivion [Verse 4] I think it's beautiful How the poisoned skies remind me, behind the veil I think it's wonderful How I lost the part I need the most Like I was born to fail [Verse 5] Dark times of our war crimes When the bombs we build come back down through the roof We are live wires in the crossfire And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof I'm a dead man in the wasteland I'm a soldier fighting for superstition Under searchlights in the long nights We've been written like dystopian fiction [Verse 6] So let them burn (Nobody wants to walk the road alone) They set the fire (We're ten-thousand miles from home) Now we can see (And I don't want to disappear) How they conspire (Where do we go from here?) But they've been shattered (Nobody wants to play a useless part) Like broken glass (In matters of the heart) And now we're building better worlds (I'm standing here, so far away) On the ashes of the past (I'll meet you at the end someday) [Verse 7] So, light a candle for the cause They bared their teeth, we showed our claws And here we are today We drove their tyranny away Now, take a second to inquire Why you should fan this growing fire Listen to our freedom cry Here to rebuild, or here to die [Refrain] Give the ending just a little flavor If you're going down, they'll break as well 'Cause it's too late for a savior But it's never too late for hell [Build] Fully ascended (Too late for a savior) The key inside (Never too late) Immortal angels Destined to die (Never too, never too) [Verse 8] So I'll lend you my essence For your rusted throne And you could bring back the light to the last home Of civilization, without which I'm gone So take this godsoul to bring forth a new dawn I'll forgive the death you've earned The cities you've burned The lessons we've learned For all that remains, just sacrifice me I'll hide away in a castle on the sea [Outro] More than a human Here in oblivion Army of one On holy ground God of the wasteland It's too late, it's too late The Bleeding Sun The Bleeding Sun
