Dead Line

[Intro]
[Verse]
The iron gates are locked and cold
The story that was never told
I breathe the dust of broken years
And wash the grease with bitter tears
My lungs are filled with silver ash
While you were counting up the cash
[Pre-Chorus]
(Call) Who's gonna answer?
(Response) Not the man in the suit!
(Call) Who's gonna suffer?
(Response) The one at the root!
[Chorus]
Drowning in the D-minor blues
With nothing left for us to lose
The ledger’s red with all our blood
We’re rising up out of the mud
Yeah, you buried the truth in a shallow grave
But we aren't the ghosts you can keep as slaves!
[Verse]
Crumpled bills upon the floor
The wolf is scratching at the door
You signed the papers, hid the files
And masked the rot with plastic smiles
The assembly line is turning red
Feeding on the living and the dead
[Pre-Chorus]
(Call) Who's gonna answer?
(Response) Not the man in the suit!
(Call) Who's gonna suffer?
(Response) The one at the root!
[Chorus]
Drowning in the D-minor blues
With nothing left for us to lose
The ledger’s red with all our blood
We’re rising up out of the mud
Yeah, you buried the truth in a shallow grave
But we aren't the ghosts you can keep as slaves!
[Bridge]
Clenched fists in the pouring rain
We’re the echo of the hidden pain
Break the glass of the corner tower
This is the final, heavy hour
Feel the rumble of the double kick
The corporate heart is getting sick!
[Solo]
(Blistering Lead Slide Guitar Solo)
[Hook]
Burn it down
To the ground
No more silence
No more sound!
[Chorus]
Drowning in the D-minor blues
With nothing left for us to lose
The ledger’s red with all our blood
We’re rising up out of the mud
Yeah, you buried the truth in a shallow grave
But we aren't the ghosts you can keep as slaves!
[Post-Chorus]
We are the storm
We are the fire
Watch us climb
Ever higher!
[Outro]
