2:31Standing on the backs of angels
2:35Destined to create
2:38Mounting the attack
2:40While heroes carry your weight
2:46We spiral towards disaster
2:53Survival fading faster
3:15Riding out the wave
3:17Content to feed off the machine
3:22Bleeding us to death
3:24The new American dream
3:29You're blinded by your hunger
3:36Beware your days are numbered
3:55Tears fall from the shameless
4:02Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water
4:09Selfless are the righteous
4:16Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
4:38Blurring lines drawn in between
4:41What is right and what is wrong
4:44Victims on the radar string us along
4:51We're on to your agenda
4:58The dead end road to nowhere
5:24Tears fall from the shameless
5:31Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water
5:38Selfless are the righteous
5:45Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
6:58Tears fall from the shameless
7:04Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water
7:11Selfless are the righteous
7:18Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
7:25Selfless are the righteous
7:32Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Standing on the backs of angels Destined to create Mounting the attack While heroes carry your weight We spiral towards disaster Survival fading faster Riding out the wave Content to feed off the machine Bleeding us to death The new American dream You're blinded by your hunger Beware your days are numbered Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Blurring lines drawn in between What is right and what is wrong Victims on the radar string us along We're on to your agenda The dead end road to nowhere Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Selfless are the righteous Burden me lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
