lyrics
Look at you just standing there; so unapologetic
This hatred that you bare; so abrasive, so pathetic
You love to destroy those
Who you fear will control you
You live to rip through
Anyone who looks right past you
How could a person be so callous and cruel as you?
Make your move...we’re watching you.
(You’ve said it all)
Oh you believe that you can jump above the law
So confident that everyone’s below you
You’ve crossed the line and now you think that you won’t fall
You better wise up kid, death is gonna find....
Death will find you
You cannot run from...
You cannot hide from…
Death will find you
So you think you are prepared; dogmatic, so abrasive
You better be aware of your discrimination
Your bible won’t help you
Everyone can see right through you
Your anger and pain
May open up those old wounds
Just lay your armor down; we’ve got those big guns too
Make your move...we’re watching you
(you’ve said it all)
Oh you believe that you can jump above the law
So confident that everyone’s below you
You’ve crossed the line and now you think that you won’t fall
You better wise up kid, death is gonna find
You can’t walk on water, you can’t avoid the fall
You cannot run, death is gonna find you
You can’t walk on water, you can’t avoid the fall
You cannot run, death is gonna find you
