Lyrics Backfire – August Burns Red
Witness the blind now leading the enraged
Losing our sight, we’ve lost our way
We find ourselves welcoming moral decay
We have lost our way
Entombed by deception
We find lies where there is nothing but truth
We find lies
Thoughts of conceding are wasted on our youth
You cry deceit and you never, never surrender
While refusing to wave the flags of defeat
Stoke fires, and fire up those who are looking for a leader
Accepting a loss won’t be the end
You can always get back up and fight again
It’s hard to accept that your theories are just fallacies
The downtrodden are feeling trampled
Stockholm syndrome has afflicted the masses
Enamored with those who always kept them in shambles
My suffering is not your fault
Your victories, they are your own
How did we get here
To a place where we blame those we’ve never met for our misfortune
How did we get here
There are signs everywhere
All of you are asleep
We need to wake up
We need to wake up
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire…
