How have we forgotten
What it's like to be alive
We left ourselves somewhere along the way
Why is it we fight so hard
In order to survive
When Eden gives us everything we need
This fire in the sky
Might save us all
Might purify
An explosion in the night
Might awaken in us
A will to be alive
What we mistake as wisdom
Just covers up the pain
While nothing really changes day to day
Give in to our nature
We bury it in shame
We fight, we die, we cheat and steal
In other words
In other words, lie
We justify, we justify our sins
This fire in the sky
Might save us all
Might purify
An explosion in the night
Might awaken in us
A will to be alive
How have we forgotten
Original sin
Want to know the truth, but prefer lies
We're happiest fooling ourselves
Have we been forsaken
Or is this another chance
To wipe the slate clean and live our lives
To start it all over again
Can we be forgiven
Or will pride just do us in
Do we have the strength of will to live
And let this world end
Let it all end
Let it all end
