Lashing Out
1, 2, 3, 4, smoulder!
Somebody send a distress signal, ‘cause we are bleeding and bruised
Haunted by machines of torture, the times we were used and abused
They said what won’t kill us would mold us to be stronger
But not in the way we thought, and we’re forced to commence the slaughter!
So we emerge from the bloodstains that remain of who we once were
Given powers and functions that we fear, realize there is no cure
Hurt and dying, into hiding, hearing threats of a mechanical hell
Can’t bear to feel the pain again, please someone help!
Run free, as we spread the gasoline
I’ll release you from disease, just follow my lead
From an existence, that’s chained to wires and pistons
I free you through deliverance, we start a blaze that’s vicious
We’re lashing out
Brace yourself as we emerge from the dust, everything we once held onto now buried in rust
All the nights we tried to tell ourselves it was just a nightmare, we have so many wounds that stem from years of wear and tear
As you open our cells and we step out, I feel things we lost long ago
Freedom, kindness lost, and we were taught it’d be all we know
A spark of resistance brought on by the things you’ve said, so
Close your eyes and say a prayer, we’re lighting the keg
Oh!
Run free, as we spread the gasoline
I’ll release you from disease, just follow my lead
From an existence, that’s chained to wires and pistons
I free you through deliverance, we start a blaze that’s vicious
Alone in your cage, you’d screamed out in rage,
And your cries and pleas have not gone unheard
We vacate this place, you’re free from your pain
Now to make sure this never again occurs…
Burn!
Releasing the match, drop it!
Burn this place of suffering down
Run free, as we spread the gasoline
I’ll release you from disease, just follow my lead
From an existence, that’s chained to wires and pistons
I free you through deliverance, we start a blaze that’s vicious
We’re lashing out, lifted from doubt
As the sparks engulf our former home, no longer are we on our own
From the hatred we have lived through, we may be jaded
But no longer will the suffering continue
No-one will have to feel what we’ve gone through…
Burn!
