lyrics

We were born inside angels screaming with a muzzle pressed to the base of our neck,
Our first sight in a field of darkness, flash in the sky of a million deaths,
Our first breath that filled our lungs was the smoke from our mother's burning flesh,
Our first thought was to get to repay in kind all that they had given unto us,

i didn't know what it meant to be free, i didn't know how much you could see, i didn't know when he first spoke to me, i didn't know how easy it could be

We were born in a world that rewards greed with profit, sucking the meek dry,
Our first choice was for baser justice, choosing who should live & who should die,
Our first step was to submit to the one & only who would never lie,
Our first kill was slow & righteous, even though I miss the taste at night

you wouldn't know who I am underneath, you wouldn't know where they are buried, you wouldn't know when I slide behind your seat, you wouldn't know 'til you're lying before me

I will stand beside your sins, we'll be the last thing that you see
