I was born inside the earth
I was born to be free
I met up with the morning
She turned and left my shadow and me
The sun destroyed the earth
While I sat back down and let it all be
How could I ignore the warning?
But still I stayed back and I let it all be

The books were burned the land decayed
We were propelled and darkness stayed
Now I miss the morning
Down with we surrender
Down where excuses all stay
Down with we surrender
We understand but why won't we change?

Drinking acid out of the rain
It burns my throat but it still tastes the same
How could I ignore the warnings?
I wish that I had learned to change
The books were burned the land decayed
We were propelled and darkness stayed
Now I miss the morning

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohhh!
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohhh!
Down with we surrender
Down where excuses all stay
Down with we surrender
We understand but why won't we change?

I said, the books were burned the land decayed
We were propelled and darkness stayed
Now I miss the morning
Down with we surrender
Down where excuses all stay
Down with we surrender
Yeah we understand but why won't we change?
