The People Under the Stairs (Re-Shadowed and Re-Recorded)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] You There was a time it seemed so long ago The world was painted gold before the hope began to corrode And all the people awoke to the cold That they had let the evil grow And then came the masses Who questioned the presence of god Can anyone hear us? These cries, these screams, will these footsteps bе our last? [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] So they let us die, thе hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace, pretend we didn't say "Never again" ("Never again") And let forever belong to the dead [Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both] The time is now This chance could be your soul redemption Or these tombs will bear your denial, deception, and tragedy One that you'll help build when you let us burn Biting off your nails won't heal the scratches on your eyes [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] So they let us die, the hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace, pretend we didn't say "Never again" ("Never again") And let forever belong to the dead [Bridge: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] And there is no excuse There is no lie big enough to hide behind (Our time is now) The blinding lights struck the people divided What were they waiting for (Our time is now) [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both] So they let us die, the hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise (Took them by surprise) And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July If ignorance is peace, pretend we didn't say "Never again" ("Never again") And let forever belong to the dead Our time is now
