Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't outmatched
It can't be outrun
No
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun
No
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
(God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun, oh)
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
No
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
No
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
(God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns, oh)
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun

It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun
No
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone

God bless us everyone
May God protect and look after all of us
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
We are all flawed and vulnerable, living in constant danger
And it can't be outfought
The danger we face cannot be overcome through fighting
It can't be outdone
The danger we face cannot be surpassed
It can't outmatched
The danger we face cannot be overcome by being better
It can't be outrun
The danger we face cannot be avoided by running away from it
No
There is no alternative or escape
And when I close my eyes tonight
When I go to sleep tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
While being surrounded by overwhelming, intense experiences
(God bless us everyone
May God protect and look after all of us
We're a broken people living under loaded gun, oh)
We are all flawed and vulnerable, living in constant danger
Like memories in cold decay
Like memories fading away into nothingness
Transmissions echoing away
Sounds and messages fading into the distance
Far from the world of you and I
Distant from the world in which we live
Where oceans bleed into the sky
A poetic way to describe a world in chaos and turmoil
God save us everyone
May God protect and save all of us
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Will we be punished for our wrongdoings in an extremely painful way?
For the sins of our hand
For the bad things we have done with our own hands
The sins of our tongue
For the bad things we have said
The sins of our father
For the bad things our ancestors have done
The sins of our young
For the bad things young people do
And when I close my eyes tonight
When I go to sleep tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
While being surrounded by overwhelming, intense experiences
(God save us everyone
May God protect and save all of us
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns, oh)
Will we be punished for our wrongdoings in an extremely painful way?
Lift me up
Help me rise above my struggles
Let me go
Allow me to move on from my troubles
God bless us everyone
May God protect and look after all of us
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
We are all flawed and vulnerable, living in constant danger
And it can't be outfought
The danger we face cannot be overcome through fighting
It can't be outdone
The danger we face cannot be surpassed
It can't outmatched
The danger we face cannot be overcome by being better
It can't be outrun
The danger we face cannot be avoided by running away from it

I'm really liking this band!! I'm a heavy Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Skillet, Hell or Highwater, etc... fan. I'm currently learning Russian, and the fact that this band suits my music interest, great melodies, not like the annoying "Epic Metal....(Viking music)." And an amazing raspy voice!!! Love it. They have versions of English and Russian in some songs, so it's great to memorize both, and actually know what i'm singing! AMAZING RUSSIAN BAND HERE!

Daria made this into a masterpiece ! Its like that song by linkin park was designed for her.

I'm here because I'm a huge fan of Daria. I couldn't believe she collabed with an American band like Linken Park, who I am also a fan of. This is very cool, and I wish Daria and the SLoT would have been more active in America.

Послушать бы их вместе ^^ ( однако я и так думала, что они вместе поют)
