Lyrics
Stay away from me
Build a fortress and shield your beliefs Touch the divine As we fall in line
Can I believe When I don't trust All your theories turn to dust I choose to hide From the all seeing eye
Destroy this city of delusion And break these walls down And I will avenge And justify my reasons with your blood
You will not rest Or settle for less Until you guzzle and squander what's left Do not deny That you live and let die
Destroy this city of delusion And break these walls down And I will avenge And justify my reasons with your blood
Destroy this city of delusion And break these walls down And I will avenge And justify my reasons with your blood
