lyrics

Your idealism rots your insides where you stand
Throwing your chance away was your line in the sand
You could be the savior
But you chose to be the martyr
Tossing blades into their hearts
Dismiss the anguish that they harbor
We've been so close to victory
We've held it in our hands
We've rectified our history

So save us all
And make the call
You'll free us all
Or we will fall

My vision turned against me right before my eyes
The options left to me are choices in disguise
Ooo, your grand salvation has a price
Your vision culminates in deadly sacrifice
I've founded mankind's victory
I've given them a chance
I've rectified our history

I've saved us all
It's not your call
We will stand tall
You'd kill us all

I'll make this situation fair to comprehend
'Cause only one decision saves you from your end
I'm left to weigh my growing fear against my soul
My actions guided as I'm giving up control
My virtue lost its innocence
The future turns to gray
The frequencies in dissonance

What have I done?
Bowed to the gun
Destroyed the sun
What have I done?
