the first city we built was the city of the dead

the silent pressure from behind that led

the hunted to turn into the hunter

run out of prey and you start to wonder

can i prey on the gods? prey on myself?

prey on the dreams of health and wealth

these freedoms bent to freedoms end

prisons built from promises

​

when did we forget that we were only playing games?

​

CHORUS

better not press your luck

it's a long way down

better keep your spirits up

it's a long way down

better not lose your never

it's a long way down

better not look around

​

did we forget that building doors

was only baiting wolves?

did we try to cut our ties

'cause we thought we might get pulled?

did we talk with god till he cast us out?

did we just need something new to talk about?

did we turn on ourselves 'cause we done wrong?

did we forget that you never win a war for long?

​

not all will be lost, but all will be changed
