Lyrics
One boy breaks the womb
One crawls from his tomb
One finds empty words
Sets out to get what he deserves
And one is devotion
I was born a child of reason
I will die one step from freedom
One will stand and brace
One will hide his face
One pours liquor on the flame
King of diamonds begging for a name
And one is ignition
Have I not been separated?
You don't know how long I've waited
O I wanna live forever
We said we're never gonna die
O never's comin'
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down
One will find it hard
One will disregard
One will die alone
Just another wasted piece of stone
And one is the chosen
Take my hands if I'm not able
One more drink will make me stable
O I wanna live forever
We said we're never gonna die
O never's comin'
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down
Light it up
Light it up
Burn it down
Burn it down
O I wanna live forever
We said we're never gonna die
O never's comin'
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down
