Nothing Left Alive Lyrics

We turn to the sun
To send power below
And shackle the masses to the gleaming machines
They burned the world
We rose through the mud
But they came back
They brought with them blood

Nothing left alive
Nothing left alive

We are the Pig-Children
We live as slaves
We serve the leader
We die in waves
Encircled the Earth in a blistering cage
It became our grave

Nothing left alive [x3]
Nothing left alive

The world it was burned by the breath of the sun
They lived underground and stored food by the ton
Until they returned
Their weapons they burned

We serve the leader
He's really a bleeder
They come from dark caverns
Return to dark places
They give us orders
We don't see their faces

We never lived
We never tried
Life is eternal
We'll never die
We don't know why
Life is eternal
We'll never die

We live! [x2]
We live from day to day [x2]
Always in this way

Encircled the Earth in a metal cocoon
It glowed with the heat, there was no more room
They need us as slaves so they keep us alive
But if you want to eat - you must kill or die

Kill or die?
WE LIVE
Kill or die?
WE LIVE
We live from day to day [x4]
Always in this way [x4]
We live!
