Lyrics:
Is the future open
Is the future seen
You’d have to pray forever and if you don’t believe
They’ll come down on you
From the longest fall

When they’ve all been vanquished and they’ve all been tried
Like it’s some great penalty, but its just there pride
And they got no follow through
They hold the weakest stance

Ya well they’ll come to steal and divide
all that’s good

You say you thirst for vengeance and you crave for fire
On the roofs of innocence
You watch them rage and writhe
And it don’t bother you
You feel so brave

Your standing in the water
You think that you’ve been saved
With your blind ignorance
In comes a crushing wave
Now see what drown men do, in your watery grave

Well they’ll come to steal and divide
All that’s good
Ya they’ll come to steal and divide
All that’s good

Ya they’ll come to steel and divide
Ya they come to steel and divide
All that’s good
All that’s good
