Look at us, look at us, the death within our eyes

Look at us, look at us, look past all your lies

Look at you, look at you, look at all your pride

Look at you, look at you, all the hate you hide

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much

The type of hurt you’ll never touch

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much

But one day you will fear our touch

———

Every second a demon gets their fangs

Every second the Wall gets a crack

Every time we go out, it’s with a bang

We’ll create a new world where no-one lacks

On one bright day the system will be burned

On one bright day the gods will be cast down

On that day all your lies will be unlearned

On that day every child will wear a crown

———

In our lives, in our lives, there’s pain and there is need

In your lives, in your lives, there’s pretty things and greed

In our lives, in our lives, there’s rage that we gulp down

In your lives, in your lives, you think you own the crown

It’s grief, it’s grief, it’s so much grief

The type of grief you won’t believe

It’s grief, it’s grief, it’s so much grief

But we’ll make all your comfort leave

———

Every second a demon gets their fangs

Every second the Wall gets a crack

Every time we go out, it’s with a bang

We’ll create a new world where no-one lacks

On one bright day the system will be burned

On one bright day the gods will be cast down

On that day all your lies will be unlearned

On that day every child will wear a crown

———

Every time you kill us we become free

Every time you look away, live your life

Every day you consume goods endlessly

Your apathy will bring you such great strife

Every baby, child, youth and each adult

We rise back up with fangs and horns and claws

Every time you worship your richness cult

We gain more power to wipe out your laws

———

Every second a demon gets their fangs

Every second the Wall gets a crack

Every time we go out, it’s with a bang

We’ll create a new world where no-one lacks

On one bright day the system will be burned

On one bright day the gods will be cast down

On that day all your lies will be unlearned

On that day every child will wear a crown

———
