lyrics

While your home flag flies
All those tears in your eyes
Are as much for your own life
As they are to be alive

And the hunger you feel (it’s all right, it’s all right)
Deep down inside because it means that you’re alive

I can’t keep waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life
It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside
These scars don’t fade away with time (they save our lives)
The danger of living life

When the last shred of hope has been shorn away
Charge ahead with disregard, no heavy heart
And your greatest story (my brother, my brother)
Will never be of death, just greatest victory

So sick of waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life
It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside
These scars won’t fade away with time
The danger of living life

These scars don’t fade in time
Do you even know who you are inside?
No, the day you lost your identity was gone
No life in your eyes, no strength for the cause
I won’t forget what I’m fighting for
Never gonna lose this eternal war
I’ll wake up tomorrow stronger than before
And show you what it means to live for something more

All the tears in your eyes and the sweat on your skin
Do you remember what it’s like to feel alive again?

(Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh)

So sick of waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life
It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside
These scars won’t fade away with time
