Hurricane(Without Kanye West)
30 Seconds to Mars · This Is War [2009]
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breathe
No matter how many nights that you'd lie wide awake
to the sound of the poison rain
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
As days go by
The night's on fire
Tell me would you kill to save a life
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right
Crash crash
Burn let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
No matter how many deaths that I die I will never forget
No matter how many lives that I live I will never regret
There is a fire inside of this heart
and a riot about to explode into flames
Where is your God
Where is your God
Where is your God
Do you really want
Do you really want me
Do you really want me dead or alive
To torture for my sins
Do you really want
Do you really want me
Do you really want me dead or alive
To live a lie
Tell me would you kill to save a life
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right
Crash crash
Burn let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
The promises we made were not enough
(Never play the game again)
The prayers that we had prayed were like a drug
(Never gonna hit the end)
The secrets that we sold were never known
(Never sing the song the same)
The love we had the love we had
We had to let it go
(Never giving in again, never giving in again)
Tell me would you kill to save a life
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right
Crash crash
Burn let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
This hurricane
This hurricane
This hurricane
Do you really want
Do you really want me
Do you really want me dead or alive
To torture for my sins
Do you really want
Do you really want me
Do you really want me dead or alive
To live a lie
