Abnegation

In Flames · A Sense Of Purpose [2008]

We believe but we are deceased

Or soon to be

I act surprised

You've seen the seas

It's just enough to feed the trees



We believe but we are not free

This wasteland is our prison

I act surprised

I see the bones through your skin

This radiation from within



I grant you this torn land

I'd rather not live here anymore

Don't say I didn't try but I'd rather not live here anymore



We believe but we don't see

The coming of the storm

Why act surprised

There are warning from time to time

Signs of our own decline



We are the scavengers

We plunder and rape

We're the guests here, the new breed

But act like its ours to take



I grant you this torn land

I'd rather not live here anymore

Don't say I didn't try but I'd rather not live here anymore



We believe but we don't see



I grant you

This torn land I'd rather not live here anymore

Don't say I didn't try but I'd rather not live here anymore



I grant you this torn land

I'd rather not

Don't say I didn't try but I'd rather not live here anymore
