Heat
Upon a Burning Body Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It never stops
We're living in a world of hatred, everything that you have ever loved will suffer
Dear God if you're here listening, don't you fucking fail me now
Because its never too late to die
Don't waste my motherfucking time
Hatred, hatred kills the things you love to pass the time
The sick and weak are the ones who get left behind
Your only hope is certain death
Its gonna fucking kill us all
De-evolutionized and cursed
We're turning back, goddamn
We're becoming animals, killing instinctively
I've watched you fall apart
Open your eyes
Enjoy the serenade cause it won't last forever, everything is so beautiful
Enjoy the serenade, it won't last forever
Everything is so beautiful
This ones out to all the shattered bruised and broken souls
Hold on tight cause there's no stops to where were going
Hold on tight, it never stops
Living in a world of hatred
Everything that you have ever loved will suffer
Dear God if you're here, don't you, don't you fucking fail me now
Who's ever fantasized to live forever
How could you be so blind?
The simple truth lies in us all
When will this all be over?
Withholding knowledge from the innocent to become immortal




Where's your fucking heart?
Its gonna kill us all

@Sol-ez4gb

Quality is there just doesn't have that raw tone, energy and nostalgia like the original, that shit still makes my hair stand up on end. But this just makes it hard to warm up to remakes of songs like this.
