Blue Sky Thinking
Monuments [djent] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you didn't know, we're ready to take them
It's the time to act, we will remain free
We're ready for war 'cause we will not stop
I watch this world go running through our hands
We are paying a price for all the things we do not need
And the violence streams and I don't know
Can we face these lies
'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong
We were born to rise (Upgrade this world, don't destroy it)
And our manifesto surely has to change
No, I won't be torn apart
By their bullshit thinking
No, I won't be torn apart
Strike my eyes, I can't quite believe it
We are cold inside for this blood is on our hands
Crawl, there won't be a man controlled
I'm not paranoid so go fuck yourself
We'll start to change this scene
Here we are inside a world of pain that isn't kind
Here we are inside a world of pain, it won't go away, no
Will never go
And this world is turned into a nightmare
The seizures in this hole won't go away
And it's hard for me to carry on
Our everything fades to grey
Can we face these lies
'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong
We were born to rise (Upgrade this world, don't destroy it)
And our manifesto surely has to change
No, I won't be torn apart
By their bullshit thinking
No, I won't be torn apart
By their worldless actions
