[Verse 1: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
The state of the nation – violation
A broken promise is as good as a lie
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
And we will burn 'cause we won't unite
What are we conceding for our freedom?
Why does anybody think we need 'em?
I would rather fight than let another die
We're the problem, but we're also the solution
All hope is gone
If you want it, come and take it from me
If you think you can, you still don't know me
Let me tell you, man, if I said it, I meant it
And I will always have the right to defend it
Fifty seconds, a hundred murders
The bill of rights is a bill of sale
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your system fails?
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
We have made the present obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone
[Guitar Solo: Jim Root]
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
We have made the present obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone
[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
The wretched are the wounded
The hungry starve to death
In a place where no one goes
The air itself is a final breath
So discontinue the antiseptic care charade
As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades
I am the reason your future suffers
I am the hatred you won't embrace
I am the worm of a pure gestation
I am the remedy, spit in my face
All your laws and rules are outdated
All your subjects are killing the kings
I can rattle off a million other reasons why
But does it matter when the only thing we love will die?
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
We have made the present obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
We have made the present obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way, we'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world, we'll end the world when all hope is gone
[Outro: Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray]
When all hope is gone
When all hope is gone
When all hope is gone
Say your name
Try to speak as clearly as you can
You know everything gets written down
Nod your head
Just in case they could be watching
With their shiny satellite
[Chorus]
I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer
[Verse 2]
Turn it up
Listen to the shit they pump into your head
Filling you with apathy
Hold your breath
Wait until you know the time is right on time
The end is near
[Chorus]
I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer
You're being took for a ride
Pulling all the lazies
Please keep moving
Better keep moving
Don't fall asleep at the wheel
I waited for you but you never came
(Can't you stop the children screaming)
Please keep moving
Better keep moving
[Outro]
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Please keep moving
Better keep moving
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
[Verse 1]
There's no rest for the wicked
There's not a home underneath the mud
And we're all dead, so what's the difference
Between a god and a loaded gun?
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the sun, rain, the ocean
I am the flood, flames, the chosen
[Chorus]
It's in our blood, it's on our breath
It's in the taste between life and death
It's in our blood
[Verse 2]
I hung myself up on a cross to bleed
Nobody cared, nobody listened to me
So I'm not carrying the weight of a conscience
Bring the floods, bring the flames, bring the violence
[Chorus]
It's in our blood, it's on our breath
It's in the taste between life and death
It's in our hearts, it's in our heads
It's for the lives we never got to live
It's in our blood
[Post-Chorus]
There's no rest for the wicked
There's not a home underneath the mud
And we're all dead, so what's the difference
Between a god and a fucking gun?
Blood
[Bridge]
Sun, rain, ocean
Flood, flames, chosen
[Chorus]
It's in our blood, it's on our breath
It's in the taste between life and death
It's in our hearts, it's in our heads
It's for the lives we never got to live
[Post-Chorus]
There's no rest for the wicked
There's not a home underneath the mud
And we're all dead, so what's the difference
Between a god and his only son?
It's blood, blood
[Outro]
I am the sun, rain, the ocean
I am the flood, flames, the chosen
Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done?
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith, all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been
Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
So far away...
