The People Under the Stairs - Ice Nine Kills

[00:15.00]
[00:35.37]There was a time it seemed so long ago
[00:37.48]The world was painted gold
[00:38.90]Before the hope began to corrode
[00:41.22]And all the people awoke to the cold
[00:43.33]That they had let the evil grow
[00:45.94]
[00:46.73]And then came the masses
[00:48.92]We questioned the presence of god
[00:50.89]Can anyone hear us?
[00:53.78]These cries - these screams - will these footsteps be our last
[00:57.06]
[00:57.27]So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise
[01:04.14]And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
[01:09.12]If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say \"never again\"
[01:14.72](Never again)
[01:16.19]And let forever belong to the dead
[01:20.49]
[01:21.26]The time is now
[01:24.07]This chance could be your soul redemption
[01:30.00]Or these tombs will bear your denial, deception, and tragedy
[01:35.08]One that you'll help build when you let us burn
[01:40.25]Biting off your nails won't heal the scratches on your eyes
[01:43.50]
[01:43.91]So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise
[01:50.77]And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
[01:55.59]If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say \"never again\"
[02:01.27](Never again)
[02:02.73]And let forever belong to the dead
[02:06.89]
[02:08.18]And there is no excuse
[02:11.43]There is no lie big enough to hide behind
[02:17.37](Our time is now)
[02:18.74]The blinding lights struck the people divided
[02:24.50]What were they waiting for
[02:28.86](Our time is now)
[02:35.74]
[02:41.94]So they let us die the hate behind the smiles- it took them by surprise
[02:48.83]And the silence left us hanging while we lit up like the 4th of July
[02:53.75]If ignorance is peace pretend we didn't say \"never again\"
[02:59.31](Never again)
[03:00.80]And let forever belong
[03:05.37]To the dead
[03:08.90]
[03:10.98]Our time is now
