The first single to be released off Northlane’s third studio album, this song is also the first one to be released with their new lead vocalist, Marcus Bridge, after old vocalist Adrian Fitipaldes left.
So cold, my soul's numb
Like an icy breeze on solstice morning
The worst enemy’s one that’s homegrown
This is more than just a faceless warning
Don't let the world rot
Don't let the world rot
Hanging by a thread, they just putrefy
Our blood, our birth, our sky
And we will not stand by
Don't let the world rot
So warm the sun burns my soul
Like the fossils in the earth, they take my breath
Black blood bleeding heart filled stone
Take the power away from the hands of death
A web of minds connected
Take purpose, take action
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders
Make sense of this mess
A mind at large
Is a power they can’t repress
We are all connected
We are one, you and I
Yeah, we will not stand by
Don’t let the world rot
Omnipotent mind at large
Sick of living underhanded
This is our life, we command it
Go
We can’t all hide in fear
A time of reckoning is near
We are all connected
Don’t let the world rot
We can’t all hide in fear
A time of reckoning is near
We are all connected
A web of minds connected
Take purpose, take action
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders
Make sense of this mess
A mind at large
Is a power they can’t repress
Sick of living underhanded
This is our life, we command it
