Ever wanted to see those eyes drowning in the dark
Any other view would be only a waste of life
At the top, I saw the beauty of this world, and I saw
Blood and pain, and the voices screaming: Why?

Even if you are right, that hate won't come undone
Even if you're alright, there's nothing to be done
Mankind cries a sea of hatred till it flood
So cut yourself and dye your hair within the blood

So I'll surround myself with the ghosts of my farewells
Every rusty bone of a child sent straight to hell
And I'll surround myself another day
Until the light brings my life someway

As the chains that held us down will say unspoken
For now on will be part of a bound once broken
As the scars they paint, they never fade
But that's okay, 'cause there's beauty in our pain

A dyer painting colors in this promise land
A lighter in the dark 'cause we can't see the end
A burning heart would know that fire ever since
And now, alive again, it will mark its way in red
