lyrics

They say masters control us all
and we leave it up to fate.
What it takes to prove them wrong,
is what it takes to prove me right.
To contribute nothing else,
but to learn from your mistakes.
What it takes to block the sun,
is what it takes to win the fight.

Turn your back on ancients, mend your broken lives.

Your mind skips a beat
and your mouth follows shape...
to encourage what you do
and the mockery that you made
The scars you can't mask,
make up every word you think.
As the museum burns,
and wisdom is forsaken.

Turn your back on ancients, mend your broken lives.

If you had a chance
you'd be born a giant,
still the worms will know
where the corpse is buried.

We create one lasting proof,
only reason please my mind
we'll use the sages wills
and the life we project
Seen through an aperture
with all the splendid guests.
except the one who fears his life
and the child he infects

Turn your back on ancients, mend your broken lives.

We awake, we feel the sun
dread our flights into the night
the source of pride in company
to need it all and bind yourself

Turn your back on ancients,
mend your broken lives.

If you had a chance
you'd be born a giant,
still the worms will know
where the corpse is buried.

Writhing serpents under the sand
No grief for the mistaken
Victims fallen to the dance

The tragedy to make them come...down
In the night, there's a whisper.
Rejections in slow motion
Accusations bring us together
Just another bunch of scandals
