Scream
Son of Rust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tied to the floor by the lies I've told
at least I have you to hold
together you and I will never grow old
it's a cold, cold world
you hold my hand as the truth is said
I just wish you weren't all in my head
didn't make me want to
scream
at the world around you
fight
for the ones you love
hate
what they're doing to you
pray
you'll have power to
scream
take one look at the world
and you know just where this leading to
you know just what this is coming to
maybe we're afraid of what we have to do
we all look at the world
and think we know what's best for everyone
well maybe we're to blame for the lives undone
what is it we're coming to
what if it's our duty to
scream
(and the fourth angel sounded
and a third part of the sun was smitten
and a third part of the moon
and a third part of the stars
for the great day of his wrath has come
and who shall be able to stand?)
Look at world
and see what it's all coming to
pray for the world
and know that's our duty to
scream
at the world around you
fight
for the ones you love
hate
what they're doing to you
pray
you'll have power to
scream
