[Verse 1] See the man who stands upon the hill He dreams of all the battles won But fate had left its scars upon his face With all the damage they had done
[Pre-Chorus] And so tired with age He turns the page Let the flesh Submit itself to gravity
[Chorus] Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay Let our blood invade if I die in pain Now, if your convictions were a passing phase May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays And as the vermin crawls We lay in the foundations of decay [Verse 2] He was there, the day the towers fell And so he wandered down the road And we would all build towers of our own Only to watch the roots corrode
[Pre-Chorus] But it's much too late You're in the race So we'll press And press 'til you can't take it anymore
[Chorus] Let our bodies lay while our hearts we'll save
