Year Zero Lyrics

Be a hero
Kill your ego
It doesn't matter it's all just a pack of lies
Build a new base
Steal a new face
It doesn't matter it's all just to save you

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I won't fade

Year zero
Another hero
Is anybody alive here across the line?
Buy a new face
Start a new race
It doesn't matter it's all just to save your face
It's all just to save you
It's all just to save your face
It's all just to save you

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I won't fade
I won't fade

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade)
We'll never fade away

This track was previously named "Hero" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Seconds_To_Mars), that demonstrated the lyrics leaning towards that. Year Zero is exactly what it says -- 0 AD/BC. There is controversy whether this year existed, or if 1BC went to 1AD. Just a bit of snippets to add to the meaning --

Does anyone have the lyrics/text to the distorted voice around 5 minutes into the song?

The distorted text 5-ish minutes in to the song is Shannon reading Sun Tzu's "The Art Of War"

Am I the only one that thinks this song is about Pol Pot in Cambodia?

I think this song is either about reinventing yourself and at the same time not going away, and standing your ground. Or possibly about a world leader somewhere? I really don't know....
