[Verse 1]
Steal the lights from our eyes, drain the blood from our hearts
In all of this dark matter
Take the breath from our chest, break the thoughts in our mind
We're losin' time, dark matter
[Pre-Chorus]
Denounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law
[Chorus]
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still, everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
[Verse 2]
Erodin' away, we're pullin' apart
In all of this dark matter
I once heard it said, and it stuck in my head
"Arrested the press, no one knows what happened next"
[Pre-Chorus]
Renounce the demagogues
King diamonds to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law
[Chorus]
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still, everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
[Bridge]
No tolerance for intolerance or
No patience left for impatience no more
No love lost for lost loves
No sorrow for the unaccountable
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still, everybody else pays for someone else's mistake
