Abnegation (Explicit)

Written by：Björn Gelotte/Jesper Strömblad/Anders Fridén

We believe

But we are deceased

Or soon to be.

Why act surprised?

You've seen the seas,

It's just enough to feed the trees.

We believe

But we are not free,

This wasteland is our prison.

Why act surprised?

I see the bones through your skin,

This radiation from within.

I grant you

This torn land,

I'd rather not live here anymore.

Don't say I didn't try,

But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe

But we don't see

The coming of the storm.

Why act surprised?

There are warnings from time to time,

Signs of our own decline.

We are the scavengers,

We plunder and rape,

We're the guests here,

The new breed,

But act like it's ours to take.

I grant you

This torn land,

I'd rather not live here anymore.

Don't say I didn't try,

But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe

We don't see

I grant you

This torn land,

I'd rather not live here anymore.

Don't say I didn't try,

But I'd rather not live here anymore.

I grant you

This torn land,

I'd rather not,

Don't say I didn't try,

But I'd rather not live here anymore.
