Some people know the order
But their hard to find
Some people roll you over
Then they blow your mind
Some have the will to occupy
Some people can't remember
But that's nothing new
Some people kill for loving
Including me and you
I guarantee your time is due!
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Distant winds spread salvation
Beat you down with shame
Once redeemed and gone forever
Never be unchained
The future steals what once remained
Some people speak the truth
Now, there's no one else to blame
Then they try to beat you down
Boy, if you don't do the same
Choose me or choose eternal flame
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Beware backsliders!
You need to know just why we were
Cuase I might be losing my mind
Deception of your mind
Chasing what once was inside
Onward for the truth absurd
I think we'll finally know why we were
Alone
Nobody knows the answer
They never question why
Blind faith will lead you nowhere
It happens every time
Spirit shines and now it's time to die
Lights dim and you can't remember
You pray you're homeward bound
Kill the dream and forget the memories
That was so profound
The revolution dies without a sound
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Beware, backslider!
You need to know just why we were
Cause you might be losing your mind
