Shadow Moses
Bring Me The Horizon · Sempiternal [2013]
Can you tell from the look in our eyes?
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
(we're going nowhere) 3x
Can you tell from the look in our eyes?
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
This is sempiternal
I thought I buried you
And covered the tracks
You'll have to take this with your cold dead hand
I thought I buried you
Where sin can never die
I thought I cut you loose
Severed the feeling
I stepped through the crack
As you clamp to my shirt
I thought I buried you
Where sin can never die
(Fuck!)
Can you tell from the look in our eyes?
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
(we're going nowhere)
You can run but you'll never escape
(over and over again)
Will we ever see the end?
(we're going nowhere)
This is sempiternal
Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal
Over and over again and again.
Rise from the dead you said
Secrets don't sleep 'til they're took to the grave
Signal the sirens rally the troops
Ladies and gentlemen,
It's the moment of truth
Can you tell from the look in our eyes
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
(we're going nowhere)
You can run but you'll never escape
(over and over again)
Will we ever see the end?
(we're going nowhere) 2x
This is sempiternal
Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal
Over and over again and again.
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
(we're going nowhere) 3x
Can you tell from the look in our eyes?
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
This is sempiternal
I thought I buried you
And covered the tracks
You'll have to take this with your cold dead hand
I thought I buried you
Where sin can never die
I thought I cut you loose
Severed the feeling
I stepped through the crack
As you clamp to my shirt
I thought I buried you
Where sin can never die
(Fuck!)
Can you tell from the look in our eyes?
(we're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die
(we're going nowhere)
You can run but you'll never escape

Will we ever see the end?
(we're going nowhere)
This is sempiternal
Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal
