[Intro]

Carry us from the brink

Keep us from becoming extinct


[Verse 1]

We let you into our worst nightmares

Spouting fiction that left us cowered and scared

Follow the guidelines and you'll save our lives

It's sad to see you’re quickly choking, choking on your lies


[Breakdown]

You vulture

Choking on your lies (Choking on your lies)

You vulture

We see through your disguise


[Chorus]

Wishing we could take it all back

The beasts in your pack are the worst ones to attack

Change course and use a different track

The beasts in your pack are the worst ones to attack


[Breakdown 2]

They will show no mercy

They will show no mercy


[Verse 2]

Abandonment harbors the most resentment

If truth is the backbone you keep on bending it

One day it will snap into pieces

So shattered you're never able to mend them

They are broken, you are broken


[Verse 3]

Heads bowed before us, the fearless crumble and crawl

Asking forgiveness, forgiveness from all

Use the anger, direct it within

This could have been, been prevented

What was completely divided will come together united

Under the wings of a movement, the wings of a movement


[Chorus]

Wishing we could take it all back

Wishing we could take it all back

Change course and use a different track

We'll rip, we'll shred every word you say, every word you say


[Breakdown / Ending]

We will show no mercy

We will show no mercy

We will show no mercy

We will show no mercy
