Lyrics:

Gone where's your spirit gone?
Has the last drop of you been taken
Out where the devil roams
Eyes fixed to you like death to a bone

I know there's going to be fire
I see the stakes for the survivors
I smell the smoke of the liars
Spread hell where they walk 
Hell where they go

Weak potion 
My nation's drunk on an ocean 
Of false quotation 
Suspend your expectations 
We know 
There's no salvation here
For these people 
They spread you thinly my dear 
And they make you their favourite pet thing

I know there's going to be fire
I see the stakes for the survivors
I smell the smoke of the liars
Spread hell where they walk 
Hell where they go

Go go, go go, go go

Dog that you beat 
Tears that you weep 
Over the carcass that you could not teach 
Preaching your message so indefinitely
Still waiting to meet this Jesus you speak of
Never was there a question 
That we could be free 
But your eyes don't see 
The freedom I seek
Are they so disposable 
Opinions we keep?
I was the bee 
In your bee stung feet
In your bee stung feet
In your big defeat 
In your bee stung feet
In your big defeat

Weak potion 
My nation's drunk on an ocean 
Of false quotation 
Suspend your expectations
We know 
There's no salvation here

Lyrics:

My darling
They dragged you down
They made hunters of us all 
They found you out
They wanted to punish 
You for being honest
Hate in their eyes
They're giving rise
To cannibal desires

Ohhh

I am enchanted 
You leave me empty handed
I am thankful for your love
And I'm tarnished
I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride
These cannibal desires
I'm gonna ride
This harness

You can't be another
You can't be another 
You can't be another 
Rise from your apathy 
Will you rise?
Rise from your apathy
When will you rise?
Rise, rise.

My darling 
They dragged you down
My darling 
Rise from your apathy

Lyrics:

Change begins inside
Don't be lead by your pride
She eats your alive

Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
What you win you're gonna lose fast
Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
Bad conscience leads you to nothing

True
Listen when I'm talking to you 
It leads you to nothing pure
It's a trick of the light

Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
What you win you're gonna lose fast

Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
Bad conscience leads you to nothing

Leads you to nothing 
Leads you to nothing 
Oooh

Gold makes chains 
You don't need a thing 
Everything is God 
You don't need a thing 
Everything is God 
You don't need a thing 
Everything is

Do you understand 
My whisperings?
You don't need a thing 
Everything is God 
And life goes in the blink of an eye

Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
What you win you're gonna lose fast

Nobody ever makes friends like that
Good conscience may go bad
Nobody ever makes friends like that
Bad conscience leads you to nothing

Leads you to nothing 
Leads you to nothing 
Ooooh 
It's a trick of the light
