(Atter) I never asked for any of this I was just a man without material wishes Then they went and put a gun in my hand Left not one thought but to keep myself alive Oh, I mixed soil and sand With the blood of every one that'd greet me They said "hello", a grenade for a handshake I said "goodbye" with the bullet Sam gave me I never asked for any of this I was just a man with a gun
2.
(Atter) When the flag falls on my back And I carry the weight of the world My black clouds thick, tall as heaven's walls Oh, I, owe you the pleasure and the privilege of the truth When my black clouds roll I'm just trying to save you from this world But you had to be, had to be difficult I'm just trying to save you from this world And it's a lonely one out side my door This power is too much for one man But I'm not like the rest of them I am incorruptible, indestructible Don't deny me my right God himself put this crown upon my head Let my black clouds roll (Liby) Your pride is quite heavy handed And you're beating yourself to the ground Your battered face is the talk of the town I won't again say I loved you 'Cause I don't remember that day Memories fade, and you're nothing I'll chase (Atter) I'm just trying to save you from this world It's a lonely one outside my door
3.
(Atter) We'll give the power to the weak, their means for pride The strong will cower in the streets as they reap their crimes You all have grown too strong to keep the things your heart desires It's for the greater good Do as all good citizens should Do as all good citizens should It's for the greater good Do as all good citizens should Forfeit your life I dug this ditch I dug it deep and long I dug this ditch for everyone who's wrong When day turns into night I'll play the piper's song And give rest to your sleepy eyes I've got a way with words, and it's just too easy, baby With all the might in the world you couldn't stop this ship from sinking I dug this ditch I dug it deep and long I dug this ditch for everyone who's wrong When day turns into night I'll play the piper's song To give rest to your sleepy eyes

(Atter) I never asked for any of this But I did take advantage of a golden opportunity I had a knack for riding the sky I used that to land me at the front of the line Oh, They deserve every scar They needed whores and made us play the part We were the prettiest gals beneath the stars We worked the night, but they kept our reward I never asked for any of this But someone had to be the Saving Son
5.
(Atter) When the ground went it's separate ways and everybody lost their feet Men had tears unexplained and everybody, they found their knees Little did they know that when they stood up from their servant's pose That when they wiped the dirt from their nose, they'd be looking up at me See this line drawn at your toes Eyes weep like this widened river flows Cross this line you'll have the lips to match your bloodied nose It's too late for everyone you love (Everyman) Mothers hide the younger eyes Brothers set sail your last goodbyes From their posts men disregarding oaths will watch us die They sealed the border at the river's edge Some tried to swim but they drowned so quickly Their bodies stacking at the rivers edge All roads east are gone See this line drawn at our toes Eyes weep like this widened river flows To cross this line some men will have make the mud their home Tonight our brothers became but a name on a stone
6.
(Atter) All is fair in love and war, and who can tell the difference anymore My feet are so sore from pacing past the window Waiting for your voice to echo through the dark Your voice it echos through the dark (Liby) You're just an avatar For something bigger than what you are I've seen your maker's mark Like a puppet but less entertaining (Atter) I slid your key under the door In hopes you'd see it shining on the floor and grab it Before you walk the beach and find a calmer shore My feet are so sore (Liby) Don't tell me when you're gonna leave Tell me just when you're going to stay You look so drained of life, so sick and tired Drop it and walk away You look so scared of life, so sick and tired Drop it and walk away You're all questions and riddles You never keep one promise that you made You're just an avatar For something bigger than what you are I've seen your makers mark Like a puppet but less entertaining
7.
(Everyman) A powerful man, no friend to darkness Will fail in the end, but he's welcome to try Everyman, help build these towers to stand till the end Even heroes have crumbled when shielding this state from demise Wake up, sleeping giant, and save the day Rule the day Everyman will feel triumph They'll rue the day they pushed our backs against the gravestone, brothers. Sick the dogs. I smell a rat He's diseasing us all, and we're standing in line Everyman sees through their lies By the stars in the sky, I swear his own mother won't look at the face of this swine When we tell the world of his crimes I've seen the rise and the fall of a star I've seen it all I've seen it all I saw that look in your eye all the time I want it all I want it all Wake up, sleeping giant, and come save the day Come save the day
8.
(Atter) You've got me held up in this room There was one way in and but one way out (Everyman) I won't be leaving soon Unless my blood runs cold and my breath runs out (Atter) I hope you know That it's me or you and been overdue (Everyman) I want to see your doubt There was one way in and but one way out (Atter) One way in and but one way out On this Monday the fourth of May Mark it down a holiday My teeth are pulled, my shells are blank I won't abandon truth so come find me No, I won't lie down for you so come find me By now you know it's me or you I've seen 'em measure me. I've seen you sizing me up Tell my Liby that my heart was true I've seen 'em measure me. I've seen you sizing me up (Everyman) She says it's hard to love a heart so hard with callouses (Atter) Up the stakes now. Go for gold God speed It's gonna end this Monday, the fourth of May Mark it down, a holiday 'Cause My teeth are pulled, my shells are blank I won't abandon truth so come find me This Monday On this Monday, the fourth of May

(Atter) I never asked for any of this I feel no remorse for all the things I did My gun ain't feeling guilty for the lives it spent It was for the greater good Oh, I can feel every hole Past my flesh, through my bones, and inside my soul I had a reason, had a purpose for my life I know But it's fading fast It's slipping fast Tell me I was a good man Lie to me Lie to me Tell me I was a good...
