Do or Die

No this is not another episode of a tv show
The final season of the fall of Rome
I think we all know where this storyline is going
Sometimes I wonder what's the use in knowing at all
There's only one way we can fall
We keep pulling forward, you keep pushing us away
What's real is strange to you as night is to day
I hope we laugh about all this someday
Until then, we'll just keep on looking the other way
Always got something else to say
You and all your stubborn pride, what's it hiding?
It's suffocating you inside the confines of your mind
We can cross this great divide, you and I
But sometimes you have to take a side when it's do or die
Sometimes it's do or die...
You love your country but not half its citizens
Celebrate a system where nobody ever wins
Yeah we keep losing man, but we're coming back again
Got a feeling this time is going to be different
We've got no time for indifference
There's only one way forward and we both know the way
Follow the full moon until it breaks another day
Tomorrow's coming man, you can't make it go away
You keep talking louder, like you've got something else to say
Always got something else to say
You and all your stubborn pride, what's it hiding?
It's suffocating you inside the confines of your mind
We can cross this great divide, you and I
But sometimes you have to take a side when it's do or die
Sometimes it's do or die...
You think you're winning, but it's never going to last
Keep holding onto some bullshit idealized past
The future's coming man, and it's coming pretty fast
Better get out of the way before you cause another crash
Paper all our walls with useless cash
You say what difference does it make anyway?
Your little world could end at any time, any day
It's just another bill for somebody else to pay
Took everything you could and then you just walked away
Haven't you got anything else to say?
You and all your stubborn pride, what's it hiding?
It's suffocating you inside the confines of your mind
We can cross this great divide, you and I
But this time you have to take a side, it's do or die
This time it's do or die
This time it's do or die
This time it's do or die
This time it's do or die...
