Some of these lyrics are incorrect. ["what are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed" "never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you really think your own country will last? Forever?"] Block the entrances Close the doors Seal the exits Because this is war All gave some Some gave all But for what I want to know Carry on Don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? A folded flag A purple heart A family all but torn apart I fought with courage to preserve Not my way of life, but yours Carry on Don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? The cowards preach from pedestals With words like courage and resolve But what they meant was fuck them all Because freedom isn't free They send our daughters and our sons To deserts under burning suns A sacrificial slaughtering to fill The pockets of the weak An artificial enemy Are we so easily deceived? ["You're a shameful opportunist. What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. "You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know."] Carry on Just walk away How many more sent to their graves In this lesson ignored? I fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? What purpose did I serve? ------- Taken from the ENDGAME booklet, credit to WillCreary for the narration. |

Taken from the album booklet, although these are the given lyrics, it's not what he always sings. (the additions of that's why we etc) Also the mis-spellings etc are the given spellings in the book. You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flames You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays You won't know your worth now son until you take a hit You won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it We won't back down we won't run and hide Because these are the things that we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall We stick to you game plans and party lines But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream So shine your light on me You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has You can't understand what lays ahead if You don't understand the past You'll never learn to fly until you're Standing at the cliff And you can't truly love until you've given up on it We won't back down we won't run and hide Because these are the things that we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall We stick to you game plans and party lines But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream So shine your light on me She told me that she never Could face the world again So I offered up a plan: We'll sneak out While they sleep And sail off in the night We'll come clean And start over The rest of our lives When we're gone We'll stay gone Out of sight Out of mind It's not too late We have the rest of our lives We won't back down we won't run and hide Because these are the things that we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall We stick to you game plans and party lines But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream So shine your light on me Because these are the things that we can't deny now This is a life that you can't deny us now |
