Sound the alarm
Heaven has fallen, they'll act like it hasn't
But sound the alarm
Let silence be broken, let free the unspoken
Oh, sound the alarm
If we have to go to war
Then sound the alarm, we've fallen so far
The death of a third of Heaven's stars
I'm not trying to make a statement
And I'm not trying to be a saint
I'm just a warning to those who I'll outlive
And to those who I'll leave through the pain
I'm a reminder that they can say they love you, then leave you dead in the rain
Oh, this is the farce
Yeah, this is the play
Of the sacred and the profane
Why do I have to promise love when i was born from nothing but?
And why do I have to smile through all my tears when they left me here to rot?
I'm just the best left of myself cause everything I held is dead
And as I say "I love you"
You'll run me through
But you'll still know me by all the lies I've said
They gave me these scars
They'll never admit it, I know that you see it
The blood and the tar
Running through my veins
Instead of the love they used to grace
I used to wonder just how hard I'd have to scream til someone notices something is wrong
Now I know it's the silence that's crystal still
While I taste the smell of a burning corpse
I don't wanna die but frankly I don't give a shit if I live through this
What difference does it make if neither Hell or Heaven, to me, would be bliss
I wanna face the sky with bloody teeth like this is something I would miss
I hope I die with a halo of blood beneath me, and you send me off with a kiss
I don't know why you stick around
I don't care if you do
I was lost and was never found
Did you think the one who would save me was you?
I was dead way before I hit the ground
So let me tell you something I know to be true:
You can't someone who doesn't want to be saved
But I think you knew that too
