Darkness is crashing through my veins It's power exploding in your name I've been controlling my demons for so long The banging in my head is too strong Your clever eyes and clever lies Have finally made me realize That life is just a game you play So, I'm making my moves now Breaking the rules now Down with my demons I go, oh-oh It's been many a moon now Since I howled at you Lord Now look down and witness the show, oh-oh Blood moon is rising in your grace Confusion and blinding lights of faith Why is my love a crazy kind of pain? And I know that you would have done the same Your clever eyes and clever lies They never let me realize The mind can be just a sick disease I'm making my moves now I'm breaking the rules now Down with my demons I go, oh-oh It's been many a moon now Since I howled at you Lord Now look down and witness the show, oh-oh So I'm running away now I've hunted my prey down Beating your demons all away Forgive me you should now I plead with you good luck 'Cause you stood back and witnessed All the blow's, oh-oh Forgive me you should now I plead with you good Lord Good Lord

We are the people, one and all From deliverance to the fall From the battle and the heat To our triumph and defeat We are the young ones crying out Full of anger, full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools We are tired of being used We are constantly excused In the battle and the heat In the shadow of retreat We are the young ones crying out Full of anger, full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools We are the people one and all From deliverance to the fall From the bitter to the brave From the cradle to the grave We are the young ones crying out Full of anger, full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools

You talk about life and talk about death and everything in between Like it's nothing and the words are easy You talk about me and talk about you and everything I do Like it's something that needs repeating I don't need an alibi or for you to realize The things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads Make it my fault, win the game, point the finger, place the blame And curse me up and down, it doesn't matter now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense The first two weeks turn into ten, I hold my breath and wonder When it'll happen, does it really matter?

The only way is down, I can see that now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense It's really not such a sacrifice If I never talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense And it don't have to make no sense to you at all 'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah
