The Failsafe

Breaking dawn will bring revenge
We should know by now we're so sick
It was building up and no one was watching
We're running out of darkened corners
To sweep the waste into

In our distracted focus no one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
Like fools waiting for a sign
It was a free fall, an act of desperation
Our backs against the wall

It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go

As we all went blind
Like an answer to the call of an outstretched hand
The hell we beckoned crept inside
The vultures circling overhead
Starving to pick the skeletons we leave
On the eve of the end as the world around us burns
(The ashes shall rain)
Somehow we still beg, give us a sign

Dawn brings revenge
Patience won't mend the broken
Promise of something greater
The cables wrapped around our throat
Tonight pitch red cast over
Senses adrift, I lay me down
Plague wraps it's arms around me
Down we go
It was a free fall
An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go
As we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
Like fools waiting for a sign
