Use of a Weapon
Rising Against the Concrete Lies: Unveiling a Rebellion of Freedom in 'Use of a Weapon'
Lyrics
In your city built with concrete and lies
In a city constructed with concrete and falsehoods
We have slaved away so lifeless
We have worked tirelessly, devoid of vitality
With every breath a compromise
Each breath is a concession, a surrender
So sickened by your process and our pain
Disgusted by your system and our suffering
Plague by the fear of a tomorrow, another day in vein
Tormented by the fear of an uncertain future, wasted days
We can throw all this away
We can discard all of this, abandon our misery
Trading our sorrow for sin
Exchanging our grief for transgressions
We can throw all this away
We can discard all of this, abandon our misery (repeated)
For too long we have starred
For too long, we have gazed
For too long we have fucking stayed so blind to every instinct as you paved the way
For too long, we have remained blind to every instinct as you paved the way
So tomorrow we will take back every year you stole from us
So tomorrow, we will reclaim every lost year
And every night silently desperate and hopeless
Each night silently desperate and hopeless
Every dream never realized, and every tear shed from these eyes
Every dream unfulfilled, every tear shed in vain
We will sin and you will suffer
We will commit transgressions, and you will endure consequences
We will set fire to your machines
We will ignite a rebellion against your machines
We will put life back into hearts and you will suffer
We will infuse life into hearts, and you will suffer
We will run life through our veins and you will suffer
We will course life through our veins, and you will suffer
Passion will be found in time, and your world will fall behind us
Passion will emerge with time, and your world will be left behind
Under your dark polluted skies, we may live as the damned
Beneath your polluted skies, we may live as the condemned
But our essence and soul and freedom will unfold
Yet, our essence, soul, and freedom will unfurl
And only in death shall we see the end
Only in death will we witness the conclusion
For as long as the light of the sun still dances across every sea
As long as the sun's light dances on every sea
We will know there is something to live and die for, and we will know every breath to be free
We will recognize something worth living and dying for, and every breath will signify freedom
