The People Under The Stairs (Safe Is Just a Shadow 2010)

Текст песни Ice Nine Kills - The People Under The Stairs (Safe Is Just a Shadow 2010)

[Verse 1]
There was a time it seemed so long ago
The world was painted gold
Before the hope began to corrode
And all the people awoke to the cold
That they had let the evil grow

And then came the masses
Who questioned the presence of god
Can anyone hear us?
These cries, these screams, will these footsteps be our last?

[Chorus]
So they let us die, the hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise
And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again"
And let forever belong to the dead

[Verse 2]
The time is now
This chance could be your soul redemption
Or these tombs will bear your denial, deception, and tragedy
One that you'll help build when you let us burn
Biting off your nails won't heal the scratches on your eyes

[Chorus]
So they let us die, the hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise
And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again"
And let forever belong to the dead
[Bridge]
And there is no excuse
There is no lie big enough to hide behind (our time is now)
The blinding lights struck the people divided
What were they waiting for (our time is now)

[Chorus]
So they let us die, the hate behind the smiles, it took them by surprise
And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say "never again"
And let forever belong to the dead

[Outro]
Our time is now
