This is the mark of an era
It's where it all goes wrong
My heart is sinking
I'm always crossing the words out
And for the life of me, how do you still keep breathing?
You hear what I said?
I heard the demons hunting me
I can't escape captivity
I lie awake
They're digging in
This is the “where it begins”
I fear we're headed in the wrong direction
Turn around, turn around now
I sense I'm running out of time
I've fallen down and pa**ed the line
I'm waking up
Was it a dream?
Nothing is as it would seem
I fear we're headed in the wrong direction
Turn around, turn around
This is the mark of an era
It's where it all goes wrong
My heart is sinking
I'm always crossing the words out
And for the life of me, how are you breathing?
I'm not making it out alive tonight
So show me where the water is
I'm not making it out alive tonight
So show me where to drown
What's it matter if I'm lost in the tide
What's it matter if I'm on their side
They'll make the martyrs comply
And when it's over will you think of what I said?
Or will you let it wrap you
Till your hands are dripping red
Oh, And the sorrow is sprouting roots
So start the fire
Before you're hanging by a noose
Start the fire, let it burn it down
