Battle Hymn Lyrics

And this just in,
We're killing ourselves slowly
And we're out to sea
With cloudy skies.

We'll never know
The man behind the curtain
and so thank you
And good night.

We're going down
At least we look good.
Roll out the red carpet
Cause I will not repent.

And we're going down
At least we look good.
I'm breaking, but drowning
Looks like our debts are counting.

Feel so cold.
Slowly my lungs are filling.
Maybe there's still hope,
Or maybe I'll choke.

I took the oath,
I prayed for God to save me,
But he left me here alone.

We're going down
At least we look good.
Roll out the red carpet
Cause I will not repent.

We're going down
At least we look good.
I'm breaking, but drowning.
Looks like our debts are counting.

So pal, you ready to pay for my sins?

My eyes have seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord.
I kneel down, at the gates
Where I was born.

Here's to a life I regret.
And all my good intentions.
I never said that I was heaven sent.

Here's to a life I regret.
Will I be ending this?

There's no time to get away,
There's no place left to hide.
There's no time to get away,
There's no place left for us to run.

We're going down
At least we look good.
Roll out the red carpet.
I'm not going to repent.

We're going down
At least we look good.
I'm breaking, but drowning.
Looks like our debts are counting.

We've got blood on our hands
We've got blood on our hands
We're going down as I spit at the sky.
With the mirror, come say we eye!

jpeeples4444, you shouldnt talk about not havin the lyrics right when you yourself dont have them right;

"close my eyes and start counting" is really "looks like our debts are counting"

"and here's to all my regrets" is really "here's to a life i regret"

"thought maybe im drowning" MIGHT BE "im breaking, but drowning

the end is not "the mirror does not lie" it's "the mirror CANT SEE a lie"

im not sure about the southbound part. i really dont know why senses fail didnt release the lyrics themselves

um..i've been listening to this song non stop and i think "i took the arm" should be "I took the oath" it seems to make more sense and hayato it is "The mirror can't see a lie"

Cover art for Battle Hymn lyrics by Senses Fail

oh and it's "I never SAID that i was heaven sent" and if it's now it sounds more like said then saw lol

Cover art for Battle Hymn lyrics by Senses Fail

I'm pretty sure it's "not breaking, but drowning"

Cover art for Battle Hymn lyrics by Senses Fail

dude, no... it's "not wading, but drowning, close my eyes and start counting"

"i never said that i was heaven sent"

"and it is "the mirror DOESN'T lie."

i didn't write the lyrics but Buddy did so go complain tell him they're wrong.

I guess the first clue that you wouldn't know the actual lyrics was when you couldn't even spell the name of the song right. These are nowhere even close to being right.

And this just in We're killing ourselves slowly And we're out to sea With cloudy skies

We'll never know The man behind the curtain And so thank you and good night

We're going down, at least we look good Roll out the red carpet, Cause I will not repent We're going down, at least we look good Thought maybe I'm drowning Close my eyes and start counting

I feel so cold Slowly my lungs are filling Maybe there's still or maybe I'll choke I took the arm I prayed for God to save me But he left me here alone

We're going down, at least we look good Roll out the red carpet Cause I will not repent We're going down, at least we look good Thought maybe I'm drowning Close my eyes and start counting

Southbound and ready to pay for my sins My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord I kneel down at the gates where I was born And here's to all my regrets And all my good intentions I never saw that I was heaven sent And here's to a life I regret Will I be ending this?

There's no time to get away There's no place left to run There's no time to get away There's no place left for us to run

We're going down, at least we look good Roll out the red carpet I'm not going to repent We're going down, at least we look good Thought maybe I'm drowning Close my eyes and start counting

We've got blood on our hands We've got blood on our hands We're going down as I spit at the sky The mirror does not lie
