"Abnegation" lyrics - IN FLAMES

We believe but we are deceased
Or soon to be
I 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
I 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
I 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 but 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 live here anymore
Don't say I didn't try
But I'd rather not live here anymore
