Lyrics
Ladder Work
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've all got roles to play and we play 'em
They make the rules just to break 'em
No salvation
And honestly, we will never see serenity
Just a wounded world
Put it out of its fucking misery
I feel nothing, I've seen too much
It's enough
We're destroying everything we touch
An old plague on a new wave
Steadfast to the dark age
Endless distractions for the kings to cash in
Civil assassins sitting back, laughing
And when it all comes crashing down
Motherfuckers want in on the action
Now
Two worlds collide
Who shoots first?
Who screams for the last time?
Yeah, we all regress
I except nothing less
But they always surprise me
Put it out of its fucking misery
This is ladder work
Scaling mountains to find more mountains
Uphill, no frills, no detours
Solider on no rest, no recourse
It's either climb into poisoned skies
Or rest in death beds perfectly etched in ash
The boy with the looking glass
Only sees the horrors of our past
Now
Two worlds collide
Who shoots first?
Who screams for the last time?
Yeah, we all regress
I except nothing less
But they always surprise me
We've all got roles to play and we play 'em
They make the rules just to break 'em
No salvation
And honestly, we will never see serenity
Just a wounded world
Put it out of its fucking misery

A vigil at the end of the earth
Casts a glow into the night
We could've gone in grace together
We could've thrived
We could've shined
And as the fires encased the sky
I am reminded one last time
We could've gone in grace together
We could've thrived
We could've shined
