As The World Bleeds - As The World Bleeds - Theocracy
Verse 1 - N.C
Why do we only call Your name when there’s no one else to call?
And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
Why do we say You’ve failed us
And You’ve turned Your eyes away
When we’re only sleeping in the bed we made?
Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
Why’s the path we’ve made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
Why’d we ignore the warnings that we’ve read and always known
And get angry when we reap the things we’ve sown?
Verse 1 - Continued
So we D#mblame YouC#
‘Cause our Bworld’s not come out F#right
While the G#mdevil’s masqD#muerading
As an Bangel of the lC#ight
Just iD#mmagineC#
All the Bpride and all the F#nerve
To ask G#mwhere You’ve been, when C#we’re the ones we BserveF#
G#mIt’s not a mystery, it’s F#been foretold
G#mBut we ignored the warning bell so long F#agEo
There’s a way that seems G#mright unto men
But we’ll Edie with the wages of F#sin
Chorus
As the G#mworld F#lies EbleeBding
The C#mgiant is G#mno longer EsleeF#ping
Poisoned G#mharvF#est EreaBping
C#mBlindly we G#mjust carry Eon, but the F#glory is G#mgone
G#mGone
Verse 2
G#mWe live our lives like we could F#care less what You have to sayG#m
Then curse the skies when You don’t come clean up the ugly F#mess we’ve Emade
But You gave us a G#mchoice and we made it and Edug ourselves into a F#mhole
G#mWe always thought we knew the F#way despite the things You saidG#m
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the F#bloodstains on the Ebed
Painting ourselves right into a G#mcorner as Elife spiraled out of conF#trol
Chorus
As the G#mworld F#lies EbleeBding
The C#mgiant is G#mno longer EsleeF#ping
All we've G#msown F#now EreaBping
C#mBlindly we G#mjust carry Eon, but the F#glory is G#mgone

Verse 1 - N.C
Why do we only call Your name when there’s no one else to call?
And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
Why do we say You’ve failed us
And You’ve turned Your eyes away
When we’re only sleeping in the bed we made?
Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
Why’s the path we’ve made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
Why’d we ignore the warnings that we’ve read and always known
And get angry when we reap the things we’ve sown?
Verse 1 - Continued

Just imagine

To ask where You’ve been, when we’re the ones we serve
G#m F#
It’s not a mystery, it’s been foretold

There’s a way that seems right unto men

But we’ll die with the wages of sin

As the world lies bleeding

We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say

Then curse the skies when You don’t come clean up the ugly mess we’ve made

But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
G#m F# G#m
We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said

Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control
