Black Lungs

Do you cross your heart when you hope to die?
 Are you sleeping deep in the hurricane?
 IVs in the arm, forgetting to feel, we're crawling on all fours
 Will you fall on that sword at the second coming?
 You're gonna taste the ash and dust
 'Cause this world is dying in our arms
 Now wheels are turning
 What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
 You wanna make your hell a reality?
 Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
 Sure sounds like heaven to me
 You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
 No place to go if we don't believe
 Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
 ♪
 Give us a Judas steer we can deify
 Yeah, we all pretend we're the renegades
 So wash us away, garroted by a halo
 Take a bow 'cause time's running out
 There's no doubt that the end is coming
 You're gonna taste the ash, you're gonna taste the dust
 'Cause this world is dying in our arms
 Now wheels are turning
 What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
 You wanna make your hell a reality?
 Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
 Sure sounds like heaven to me
 You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
 No place to go if we don't believe
 Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
 Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint

 Post-love, post-truth
 Justice lays bound and black bagged, ready for the guillotine
 We can all plead guilty when they ask
 "Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?"
 
 They clipped the wings of the Phoenix, oh
 When will we wrestle the world from the
 Fools and their gold and their fucking covenant?
 Will enough be enough when we're holding on for dear life?
 You wanna make your hell a reality?
 Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
 Sure sounds like heaven to me
 You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
 No place to go if we don't believe
 Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
 It's enough to plague a saint
 It's enough to plague a saint
 It's enough to plague a saint
 Oh
 
 Ugh, we can all plead guilty when they ask
 "Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?"
