My heart is racing mama I cannot look down I've climbed so high and now I I just can't turn around My heart is racing mama Why won't you look down I just can't take the drama I just cant take it All the lives I never led They're like stones around my neck And this road I commit to Is a loop Further down the rabbit hole Thought that I would find a soul For a minute it looked like you Was it you My heart is racing mama I cannot look down I've climbed so high and now I Don't wanna turn around This isn't working lover Why don't we quit now My heart is racing My heart is racing All the lives I never led They're like stones around my neck And this road I commit to Is a loop Further down the rabbit hole Thought that I would find a soul For a minute it looked like you Was it you oh My heart is racing mama My heart is racing mama I climbed so high and now I Cant look down down oh My heart is racing mama My heart is racing mama I climbed so high and now I Can't look down

My voice turns low like whisper My lungs collapse and fail My mind shows no resistance My heart has lost her trail Your image spins and lingers Your name sounds so unreal Your words howl in the distance Your evidence still kills Bells chime The temple is ablaze A great pyre Our souls they are in flames And we shine oh oh We've found a holy name The thorned crown The buzz it got me thinking  The buzz it made me see The buzz it's got the rhythm The buzz it's you and me I know I am a sinner But Lord you are the cure I know I know I am a sinner But Lord you are the cure My Lord you are the cure Bells chime The temple is ablaze A great pyre Our souls they are in flames And we shine oh oh We've found a holy name The thorned crown A shelter from the rain We are one - Moon and Sun We are one - Moon and Sun We are one - Moon and Sun We are one - Moon and Sun We are one - Moon and Sun We are one

I'm holding on to you alone The flood is fate, but my will is strong And if I rise, I'm bound to fall My faith in you, I'm holding on I call to you, you are my lord My love is sealed, my love is whole I'm yours to keep, you are my home My life is healed, so heed the call I wait for you, ain't moving on I have the words, my voice is strong Awaken now, I see you close As if the light, was never lost oh No need to burn out Or fade away and flee Just try to learn how to be You've seen my face, the past is gone We can't be sure of what's to come But I'm with you and you're my god And in this dream we are as one oh No need to burn out Or fade away and flee Just try to learn how to be Oh No need to burn out Or fade away and flee Just try to learn how to be I'm holding on to you alone The flood is fate, but my will is strong And when I rise and when I fall My faith in you, I'm holding on

Babylon Burn 05:05
No one knows who can save the world No one knows, no one knows Who's the god who will end it all Who's the god who can do no wrong No one knows, no one knows No one knows who that is No one knows what this is We are all in Babylon Offer wine to the pounding earth Kneel and dig from a molten hearth Find the one who can take you there Find the one with the baleful stare She was born in Babylon She was born in Babylon Oh how I long for your inscription How I want to know the deeper meaning I have shrunk my heart to fit in you All your streets will see the fire soon I got lost in Babylon I got lost in Babylon I got lost in Babylon Burn Babylon burn baby burn Burn Babylon burn baby burn Burn Babylon burn baby burn Burn Babylon burn baby burn baby Babylon burn Babylon burn baby burn Burn Babylon burn baby burn Burn Babylon burn baby burn baby Babylon burn Babylon burn baby burn

Be a man don't let them know you Feathers covering a knife In my head I hear the sirens and I Hide beneath your summer sky Be a man don't cry I love you Don't reveal your heart's a mess They know you've bled and it's a poison yea To fear they think of you as less And all this time, all this time I walk the line, I walk the line I undermine, I undermine Myself and mind, myself and mind Angel eyes and silver linings Failed to balance out the stress Turn the key the door behind me - Father Please I got things to confess And all this time, all this time I draw a line, I draw a line A grand design, the grand design Of my own decline, my own decline Oh I wanna smell the roses I don't wanna race or dream I don't wanna find no answers no no I just wanna turn to a gleam Be a man don't let them know you Feathers covering a knife In my head I hear the sirens and I Hide beneath your summer sky Oh I wanna smell the roses I don't wanna race or dream I don't wanna find no answers no no I just wanna turn to a gleam Oh I wanna smell the roses I don't wanna race or dream I don't wanna find no answers no no I just wanna turn to a gleam

Everyone I know is on a treadmill But everyone pretends they know it all yea We all got enemies and there's a reason for that you know There's so much we've been taught and it's all wrong yea And so our system falls to pieces We took the path of least resistance So the system falls to pieces It's going down there's no transition There's no transition yea hey yea ah ha There's no transition hey yea ah ha When the tree is grown And the roots are thick Then it's good for shelter For all the world's weak Every road I know leads to a spiral The wheel fails, we come undone Still you're telling me over and over again yea You don't believe this cycle's gotta end And so the system falls to pieces We took the path of least resistance So the system falls to pieces Our only hope was killed by christians Fear is the only rival A devil hides inside the bible Fear is the only rival Maybe his name is just an idol yea So the system falls to pieces (So the system falls to pieces) We took the path of least resistance So the system falls to pieces (So the system falls to pieces) It's going down there's no transition So this life is just a symptom (So this life is just a symptom) All killers know how to blame the victim  So this life is just a symptom (So this life is just a symptom) Nobody wants to leave this prison I would hold both your hands In the sea in the sea For that love I would learn How to be how to be In the end I understand Why the meek are the meek I can hold both your hands In the sea in the sea
