By What We Refuse

Lyrics

The world was undone We were beasts running rampant Our lust was in our mouths with the law to justify its purpose We had our own ideas of what righteous was and we staged it all of our minds It was dishonest and a little bit cheap, but it made the way for our war anthems Our love was weaker, so we drew from our hate It's all we had We could fight our foes if we became the beasts that we claimed to slay Ignore the strings We had created a new law, and no one forced our hands You were replaced by our needs We bought our righteousness with what we had refused Like all laws Fail or flee I failed the law
