Lyrics
So you want to be some kind of hero?
Questioning the desire to be perceived as a hero
So you want to be some kind of hero?
Reiterating the question about aspiring to be a hero
So you want to be some kind of hero?
Continuing to question the aspiration of heroism
That saves the world?
A desire to save the world
You're picking at bones, at war with the vultures
Engaging in a futile struggle against those preying on weaknesses
What can one man do?
Questioning the impact of individual action in dire situations
In the face of an apocalypse
Confronting an imminent catastrophic event
At the end of the road, it's just a dark hole
Expressing the bleakness of the final outcome
False chaos, to impose order
Creating artificial disorder to establish control
March forward to the sound of the end
Marching ahead despite the impending end
Burning bridges, to distance the heretics
Destroying connections to distance dissenters
Is this a lie or a test of faith?
Questioning whether the situation is a falsehood or a test of belief
Chained to a debt that we do not owe
Being bound by obligations that aren't rightfully ours
A lifetime of pain won't pay it back
No amount of suffering can repay this debt
United they stood, together they fell
Starting as a united force but ending up falling together
Divided by hate while we watched from our cells
Being divided by animosity while bystanders are imprisoned
Are you sure you want to hang for this?
Asking if one is prepared to face consequences for their actions
That's if you're lucky
Implying that facing consequences might be fortunate
Stronger souls have tried before
Suggesting that even stronger individuals have attempted and failed
Do you think they seen mercy?
Wondering if those seeking mercy have received it
Fight for your cause
Encouraging fighting for a cause
Join the long list of martyrs
Being added to the list of people who died for a cause
Or stand idly by and ensure our fate
Choosing between taking action or allowing fate to unfold
False chaos, to impose order
Artificial disorder used to establish control
The other side have a different rulebook
Highlighting the different rules the opposition follows
Their gods the perfect excuse
Using religion as a justification for their actions
Piety to vindicate murder
Religious devotion justifying acts of violence
False chaos. To impose order
Creating disorder for the sake of control
March forward to the sound of the end
Continuing to move forward despite the impending end
Burning bridges, to distance the heretics
Destroying connections to distance dissenters
Is this a lie or a test of faith?
Questioning the authenticity of the situation
Chained to a debt that we do not owe
Being bound by obligations that aren't rightfully ours
A lifetime of pain won't pay it back
No amount of suffering can repay this debt
United they stood, together they fell
Starting united but ending up falling together
Divided by hate while we watched from our cells
Being divided by animosity while bystanders are imprisoned
How long till we look back and know we're wrong
Reflecting on the eventual acknowledgment of being wrong
How will we cope with the shame?
Contemplating how to handle the guilt and disgrace
(We cope with the burden of the shame)
(We carry the weight of shame and its burden)
