The scars Beneath their smiles Run length to length A million miles The wisdom Of a broken child Who feels at home Amidst the fire Master knows And he knows best The universe Within his chest The ascendant rise The cowards fall Learn nothing When you know it all Are we men Or are we mice? For certain d**h Awaits outside We must beat This system now There's too many To take them down The only way We'll make it out Is to shed ourselves Of shame and doubt The only way We'll make it out Is if we make or break Without a sound Seize their prize Storm the gates For all we know They sleep awake They're marching To the drums like sheep Take a bow And grit your teeth The shrouded moon It's a sign We have to move now It is time Are we men Or are we mice? For certain d**h Awaits outside We must beat This system now There's too many To take them down The only way We'll make it out Is to shed ourselves Of shame and doubt The only way We'll make it out Is if we make or break Without a sound Seize their prize Storm the gates For all we know They sleep awake We will overcome Atonement awaits Unseen to the eyes
