[VERSE 1] Looking down at this barren land Once known as home before Destruction, all the world It's an ending we have brought [CHORUS] The world we wrote a million times before And what we allow to break this all down The world we broke a million times before What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb [VERSE 2] Cities they fell, life's a choke On bittersweet warnings took for a joke Misspent days, spent in a haze Pumped from our factories into our graves They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing So they show They've brought success at bringing nothing [CHORUS] The world we wrote a million times before And what we allow to break this all down The world we broke a million times before What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb Struck dumb [VERSE 3] Still looking down at this broken land Once gra** has turned to sand Hindsight's broke, sky is smoke We've pa**ed this point of doubt They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing So they show they've brought success at bringing nothing [CHORUS] The world we wrote a million times before And what we allow to break this all down The world we broke a million times before What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb The world we wrote a million times before And what we allow to break this all down The world we broke a million times before What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb [CONCLUSION]
