Great Golden Gate Disaster, The - Project 86

Outside you there’s a remedy

Inside you is an enemy

This twist of irony

Can I say you were ever a friend to me?

(Just like we promised)

And you know it was never a lie

The fallen son that bought our freedom

Is the I, the I that had to die

Outside you there’s a remedy

A destiny in identity

Is it the shot heard round the world

Or just one more apology?

You wrote us off for so long

So, so long

We burned that bridge instead

And now we’ve got a song

You’d better think again

'Cause it’s long overdue

So many more of us

Than there are of you

Now I can release you

Apart from anything

To your corruption

(We sing this dedication)

As justice comes in many forms

This is no exception

The hero, Truthless, is lying prostrate

(And this is our redemption)

The contract on my head

Isn’t worth the paper, isn’t worth the pen

Isn’t worth the plastic promise

When the units aren’t moving

But we know, we know

Our hearts are beyond prices

These words, erupting from swollen tonsils

Will devour your clever devices

(These words are my gift to you)

My gift to you, these words

(These words are my gift to you)

For everything you put us through

I used to want to change the world

In brotherhood, us two

But now, my friend

I only want to save it from you

I bid farewell to those lonely days

Breaking my back for you to siphon my veins

The masters will now return

To the hands of the slaves

And we’ll spin them reel to reel

So that every single time you hear

This soundtrack of the voiceless

You’ll know the end is drawing near

Can I say you were ever a friend to me?

No

Now you know!
