God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding lights
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun, oh
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding lights
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns, oh
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
(Lift me up, let me go)
(And it can't be outfought)
(It can't be outdone)
(It can't be outmatched)
It can't be outrun, no
(Lift me up, let me go)
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun
(Lift me up, let me go)
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
(Lift me up, let me go)
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun
(Lift me up, let me go)
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
