lyrics

Look at the state that we are in
If only you could see how far we've come
Towards redemption of our souls
You know we take what we can get
With no regard for the future
Of our children and so we have

Everything you need and nothing that you desire
Everything we have is irreplaceable
Take it from my hands I don't want to be led into the fire
Nothing that you have is indestructible

Look at the place that we are in
If only you could see how fast we fall
Towards destruction of us all
We are created equally
Yet we fight against instead of for
Each other and so we have

Everything you need and nothing that you desire
Everything we have is irreplaceable
Take it from my hands I don't want to be led into the fire
Nothing that you have is indestructible

For all that you claim for yourself
An ever greater need to be fulfilled
Another person cast aside
Now you stand captive to your sins
Worshipping the god of your own demise
As though your saviour and so we have

Everything you need and nothing that you desire
Everything we have is irreplaceable
Take it from my hands I don't want to be led into the fire
Nothing that you have is indestructible
