Backstory Wound Lyrics

This darkened
Path we've walked
Led us to nightmares
We're unable to escape

Time runs out
Souls are fading
In a world
Built on our betrayal

We saved a million lives, but there are more
Just by knowing there will be a cure
I can stay alive, keep going on
What have I become?

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down

We are blinded
By deadly venom
Jaws dripping
With saliva

In time we're born to beg and kneel
Our minds are formed from ash and greed
The sky opens its veins to bleed
All life seems so fragile to me

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown

Can I hope for a better world?
Or should I pray for my soon death?

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown
