You gave your life away in hopes for something more
You gave your life away, your life away

Did you think you would find the answer
To questions centuries old by sitting on your hands?
By sitting on your hands you won't find your answers

Say what you came here to say
All eyes are fixed on ruins
If there's a hope for change to be made
Then now's your time to deliver, to deliver

Rise, rise above, the calm is wearing thin
Rise above, I feel this growing
This, this is love, it's what we're made for
This is love, we're never backing down

You gave your life away in hopes for something more
You gave your life away

This time I am so sincere
This time I am so sincere

You blot out the sun with your mouth open wide
And built a spiritless empire to reach your heaven
You're stumbling, you're tripping now
How worthless this all seems and your time is running out
How worthless this all seems

Take an axe to the root, cut out your eye
Take an axe to the root, cut out your eye
The towers crumble, the lowly sing, we all sing

This is me, I know it's not what you wanted
This is me, my heart is so sincere
This is me, I know it's not what you wanted
This is me, my heart is so sincere
