Well sing it up on a mountain if you've had it to here with this place

These voices are candles these fingers are scarce we'll be the judges

of who are the damned and the saved

That promise of perdition, it's not coming back

I sing all these songs for my best friends

Feel this life for all that it's worth

We've got to get a move on tonight

Cause our flesh will perish the ember will move on this earth

Don't ask for second chances cause you'll come up flat

Our shoulders to the well we'll take it back

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shackles of the shepherd anymore

It's isolative to know we die alone

The truth is always there to warm my heart

What else do you need?

You toss all your guilt to the fire

with that membership card

It marked your confirmation

And rendered you bonds with the church that left you int he dark

As we watched the ashes smolder I felt proud

As we went goodbye to the past that tore us down

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shadow of the valley anymore

It's isolative to know we die alone

The truth is always there to warm my heart

What else do you need?

Try to steal small voices from the fathers from the lot

Cause we're dying to believe we're dying to believe

Mount on the wings like eagles

Carve these words into a rock

Oh I will not believe

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the ashes of the altar anymore

It's isolative to know we die alone

The truth is always there to warm my heart

What else do you need?
