Текст песни If Not For Me - Tragedy

Оригинальный текст песни Tragedy

We were born into tragedy

We prey among the shadows,
Grinding our bones to feed,
Adorned by paper statues
Telling us what we should be
Build us up,
Break us down
But you can't
Drown us out
Burn it all to the ground

We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy,
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy

You dug the empty trenches,
The hallowed ground we pace
You lay your broken crosses
At the foot of all our graves
Break us down
No, you can't
Drown us out
Take whatever holds you down,
And burn it to the fucking ground

We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy,
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy

Growing louder than ever before,
We'll be the salt of the earth,
Breaking down your door
Crashing down around you,
Nothing to slow our fall
You hide behind your walls so thick,
You hear nothing at all

Watch us burn on your TV screen
From the comfort of your home
Hear our cries for humanity,
And dismiss them as you've always done

We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy,
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
We prey among the shadows,
Grinding our bones to feed,
Adorned by paper statues
Telling us what we should be
Wave goodbye to your empathy,
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
