We are the sons of saoirse and the daughters of the downfall riot the streets and set fire to the town hall No rest until we have spoken Blood will be shed, and bones will be broken We are awake We are awake We are awake We are awake We are the mothers of malice and the fathers of forgotten shut down this city shut down the government and stall it No rest until we have spoken Blood will be shed, and bones will be broken We are awake We are awake We are awake We are awake

Domino 04:26
You were standing so tall, but tripping over yourself Your head was in heaven, but your feet were caught in hell And you never saw that the threat was coming down It tapped you on the shoulder, ordered you to face the ground How do you get around while falling? It seems your cavalcade of chaos makes your dreams dive down And when the first of all your follies Doesn’t stop the start of all these dominoes From crashing into you An empire assembled, just to drop to its knees A false sense of order is just crippling disease and until it’s over, we won’t get any peace So for that day coming, we will wait patiently How do you get around while falling? It seems your cavalcade of chaos makes your dreams dive down And when the first of all your follies Doesn’t stop the start of all these dominoes From crashing into you How do you get around while falling? It seems your cavalcade of chaos makes your dreams dive down And when the first of all your follies Doesn’t stop the start of all these dominoes From crashing into you

This Defense 03:55
Wake up, wake up, we are reloaded Chambers are ready, barrels full We are not sad, we are not hopeless Fingers on trigger, ready to pull And we will blow you away Blow you away We are ready to fight Ready to stand We will show you our strength We are ready to go It’s not impossible We will keep you at arms’ length Come on, come on, this is our siren On count of three, all blades unsheathe (1,2,3!) There’s no remorse, there’s no denying Open your lungs up, time to breathe And we will blow you away Blow you away We are ready to fight (say what you want) Ready to stand (say what you will) We will show you our strength (I’m not afraid of you) We are ready to go (say what you want) It’s not impossible (say what you will) We will keep you at arms’ length (at arms’ length) We will not lose to this battle to you now We will not stop until you’re six feet underground And we will blow you away Blow you away We are ready to fight (say what you want) Ready to stand (say what you will) We will show you our strength (I’m not afraid of you) We are ready to go (say what you want) It’s not impossible (say what you will) We will keep you at arms’ length (at arms’ length) In this defense!

I see no light I see no reason to hold on I have nobody I can call I hear no heaven I taste no redemption There’s nothing I want more than a rope Not to climb out of this darkness But to hang myself in it Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home Vacant I am Ugly and insignificant Uncomfortable and dead Empty I am A shell without a soul So what’s the point in heavy breathing? Because the air isn’t going anywhere No, the air, it doesn’t move Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home This is how it feels to not want to feel Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home Rain won’t wash me clean Give it up, give it up, nobody’s home

We were knives Our bodies covered in blood We were knives Entangled in this love We were knives Together we were strong We were knives But where do we belong?
