Poison Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Randy Blythe] Monsters have run inside of me From my birth on sour ground Demons swimming my bloodstream Festering without a sound [Pre-Chorus: Randy Blythe] Dead inside You are the bull Dead inside They lulled to sleep Dead inside Struck colorblind Can't see red through the green [Chorus: Randy Blythe] A legacy, a poisoned dream Fortunes made on misery A burning river, a black sea Bloody skies and dying memories This poisoned dream [Verse 2: Randy Blythe] Toxic temple and polluted bliss Residuals for evil men I never had a choice in this Sacrificed for their profit [Pre-Chorus: Randy Blythe] Dead inside Will you pray? Dead inside Or will you fight? Dead inside There's no one for us But us in this toxic life [Chorus: Randy Blythe] A legacy, a poisoned dream Fortunes made on misery A burning river, a black sea Bloody skies and dying memories This poisoned dream [Post-Chorus: Randy Blythe] Rage inside this poisoned dream [Bridge: Jamey Jasta, Randy Blythe, Both] Because you're not a human being, just a fine to be paid Just the cost of doing business in their cancerous trade More collateral damage to be swept away A footnote in the story of their moral decay Know you'll never find compassion in their empty souls From their ravenous eyes to their corrupted bones Life means nothing to them as our history shows Endless chemical warfare waged on our homes [Pre-Chorus: Randy Blythe, Jamey Jasta, Both] Dead inside You are the bull Dead inside Awake from sleep Dead inside Open your eyes Gouge the heart of their greed [Chorus: Randy Blythe with Jamey Jasta] A legacy, a poisoned dream Fortunes made on misery A burning river, a black sea Bloody skies and dying memories This poisoned dream [Outro: Randy Blythe] We're at war, war, war In this poisoned dream
