The Failsafe

Breaking dawn will bring revenge
 We should know by now we're so sick.
 It was building up and no one was watching
 We're running out of darkened corners to sweep the waste into
 In our distracted focus no one had a chance
 When we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
 Like fools waiting for a sign
 It was a free fall
 An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
 It was a free fall
 It was an act of desperation
 Down we go
 As we all went blind, like an answer to the call of an outstretched hand
 The hell we beckoned crept inside
 The vultures circling overhead, starving to pick the skeletons we leave
 On the eve of the end as the world around us burns (the ashes shall rain)
 Somehow we still beg, give us a sign
 Dawn brings revenge
 Patience won't mend the broken
 Promise of something greater
 The cables wrapped around our throat, tonight pitch red cast over
 Senses adrift, I lay me down
 Plague wraps it's arms around me
 Down we go
 It was a free fall
 An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
 It was a free fall
 It was an act of desperation
 Down we go
 As we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
 Like fools waiting for a sign
