the death - A Plea for Purging

The world is on fire

And I’ve done nothing but watch it burn

The world is on fire

And soon it will take the last of us

I’ve heard it said before that boys play games

And men live the truth

I’ve had it all wrong this whole time

Because I thought it was all braun and brute

All these tattoos and all these miles

Haven’t made me a man just yet

I’m nothing more than a frightened kid

Demanding undeserved respect

The world is on fire

The world is on fire

I’ve been thinking a lot these days

What if hell’s not all fire and devils?

All the stuff they taught us as children

Just to keep us scared and wondering at night

What if we make our own hell

Every time we cause pain?

Every time we cause suffering

There’s hell on earth to pay

We are all murderers here

This is the life we chose, the life we lead

There’s only one guarantee here

None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here

This is the life we chose, the life we lead

There’s only one guarantee here

None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here

This is the life we chose, the life we lead

There’s only one guarantee here

None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here

This is the life we chose, the life we lead

There’s only one guarantee here

None of us deserves to be set free
