Save me from tomorrow's sins
'Cause I been down this road
And where it goes it never ends
Wake me
My mind has been enslaved
Or am I so far gone
I'll never be myself again
Hate, shame
Who's to blame?
Where's the world I used to know
A change has come from every side
Only to divide
A soul sickness in the bones
What happened to, what happened to the world
I used to know
Help me, someone take my hand
So heavy no fight left
Losing grip in the quicksand
With every move I make
Sink deeper, suffocate
A nightmare future that you never will escape
Hate, shame
Who's to blame?
Where's the world I used to know
A change has come from every side
Only to divide
A soul sickness in the bones
What happened to, what happened to the world
I used to know
The world I used to know
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
With the world I used to know
Change has come from every side
Only to divide
A soul sickness in the bones
What happened to, what happened to the world
What happened to, what happened to the world
I used to know
(The world I used to know)
The world I used to know
(The world I used to know)
