I drew blood from a stone
Walked the beaten track
I work my fists to the bone
And the world spits back

I won't die on my knees
But I'm tired of dragging my feet 'til they bleed
All I had came from within
And it's what they took from me

What goes around I know comes back again
Bleed the light from each day or there's hell to pay
Earned these scars with blood and bone
As above, so below
It's a cruel world but it's the one I know

No pity
What a tragedy
Reform
Rebuild
Face a world that shows no mercy

Drained
Burned the candle at both ends
Nothing to show when the light descends
Burned
All that's left is the breath in my lungs
You're taking names
I'm taking tongues

What goes around I know comes back again
Bleed the light from each day or there's hell to pay
Earned these scars with blood and bone
As above, so below
It's a cruel world but it's the one I know

Surrender your soul to nothing
To no one

Trembling masses
Lined up for judgement day
The reaper wants his toll but I won't pay
I won't pay

And all I have left is the breath in my lungs

What goes around I know comes back again
Bleed the light from each day or there's hell to pay
Earned these scars with blood and bone
As above, so below
It's a cruel world but it's the one I know
Know
