Confucianism as a World Religion
East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam) of Confucian Work Ethic
Confucianism is a Chinese ethical and philosophical system developed from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius (Kǒng Fūzǐ, or K'ung-fu-tzu, lit. "Master Kong", 551–478 BC). Confucianism originated as an "ethical-sociopolitical teaching" during the Spring and Autumn Period, but later developed metaphysical and cosmological elements in the Han Dynasty. Following the abandonment of Legalism in China after the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism became the official state ideology of China, until it was replaced by the "Three Principles of the People" ideology with the establishment of the Republic of China, and then Maoist Communism after the ROC was replaced by the People's Republic of China in Mainland China.
The core of Confucianism is humanism, the belief that human beings are teachable, improvable and perfectible through personal and communal endeavour especially including self-cultivation and self-creation. Confucianism focuses on the cultivation of virtue and maintenance of ethics, the most basic of which are ren, yi, and li.Ren is an obligation of altruism and humaneness for other individuals within a community, yi is the upholding of righteousness and the moral disposition to do good, and li is a system of norms and propriety that determines how a person should properly act within a community. Confucianism holds that one should give up one's life, if necessary, either passively or actively, for the sake of upholding the cardinal moral values of ren and yi. Although Confucius the man may have been a believer in Chinese folk religion, Confucianism as an ideology is humanistic and non-theistic, and does not involve a belief in the supernatural or in a personal god.

Tu Wei-ming's response could be one of the most accessible about New Confucianism for the layman.
Bow down
Hang your head in shame
Hide your face
Where you can't be found
A quick rise, a quick rise to fame
For every bridge burnt, for every bitter taste
Fade away
10 years from now, I'll still remember your face
10 years from now, I'll visit your town
You cannot hide forever.
How could this be; touch as nails behind a screen?
I smile, watch you fail
How could this be; tough as nails?
Fade away
With an ocean between us
I leave reprisal to a later day
You faded away
I feel the sadness this year more than ever before
Thank you for ruining everything that ever meant something to me
This is how I've always wanted to live
As the air will rip straight though me
You're staring back without a heart
Your vision now means nothing
I wanted to see the world, see the sights hear the sounds
This is how I've always wanted it
From the beginning til the end
It's a shame we die alone
Don't tell me another lie to keep me awake at night
Please give me one more reason to cast you aside
No forgiveness for the lies
Fuck All Your Goodbyes
As much as we cross our fingers
Pray to the gods and wish for a dream
Some things we wish for will never come true
I don't have any hope anymore
Something has come along the way, killed me and took my place
Everything will happen for a reason
Cause tonight, I Sleep, I sleep in fucking hell
I will drag you to the depths
Arms bent behind my back, hand cuffs attached
Sometimes these feelings of lust
Can only turn to hate
Fuck
In the end we all die
Tonight, I saw anger in motion
I feel my blood boiling
Tonight, I saw anger in motion
I feel my blood boiling (Oh!)
Tonight is the night I hate everyone around me
Everyone that continues to judge me
I can see through you, cause you are a silhouette
Always stepping on the people that you love, you're a body without a soul
The true shine through at the dead of night
I will travel to the depths,
just to show you what you put me through
The true shine through, only the strong survive
Tomorrows a new day
I've cast this pain aside
Tomorrow's a new day and only the strong survive
Another night sleeping away from home
Is this shit real when will I see you again
I've seen the world with my friends and no one else
so many new faces, new places every night
another city gone, another city shines at dawn
even when we come across these broken roads
life dead ends, I hope that your prepared for what's coming next
Another night we drive down this endless road
Another city and town, time flies when your growing old
Living life living a dream
I'll follow this road into forever until it takes my life
It seems I have taken the long way home
Boiling from, from the lights above, some things change
time will fly and some friends will fade away
My family and friends, I'm with you till the end
It seems I have taken the long way home
Boiling from, from the lights above
I took the long way home so I could see the world
My family and friends, I'm with you till the end
I've taken the long way home
I've taken the long way, I've taken the long way home
Merciless
Yet still hopeless
Brain dead and a victim of your own mess
Try to pull down bridges that you've burned
Emotionless, Heartless
Realise that you cannot turn back time
To replace the mistakes that you've made.
Emotionless, Heartless
No different from the rest
No high five, no kiss goodnight
No chance to redeem yourself
Do you feel it now?
The stabbing in your back
It's called revenge, Revenge has come to kill you off
This is where tragedy begins
You didn’t see this coming
The heat so intoxicating
Standing there as your empire burns
Standing proud and picturesque
You rose from the grave into a life of hate
So be afraid my friend the butcher will await
What’s left of you now removed, are you horrified?
I’m digging graves for you in my sleep
And there’s enough room for this town
A shallow burial is quite fitting
When you consider the depth of deception
I’m digging graves for you in my sleep
And you can even try to run
Digging graves for you in my sleep
But you know, you know,you know, you’re going into the ground
You will feel the blood boiling from within
You didn’t see this coming
The heat so intoxicating
Standing there as your empire burns
Standing proud and picturesque
You rose from the grave into a life of hate
So be afraid my friend the butcher will await
What’s left of you now removed, are you horrified?
I’m digging graves for you in my sleep
And there’s enough room for this town
A shallow burial is quite fitting
When you consider the depth of deception
Stop living life like a tragedy
accept your success
What’s on the surface aint shit
if inside your dead
Suck it up swallow your hatred
spit out your failures
No regrets in this bitch
one life to live!
Oh, Stop living life like a tragedy
Oh, Stop living life like a tragedy
I’m digging graves for you in my sleep
And there’s enough room for this town
A shallow burial is quite fitting
When you consider the depth of deception
I’m digging graves for you in my sleep
And you can even try to run
Digging graves for you in my sleep
I've never been the type
To travel on the sea
Without at least a pint
To keep me company
Never in my dreams
Did I imagine
That a vessel of this nature
Existed for our pleasure,
It's so hard to believe
That we will embark
And to sail the open seas
All the while
We will be accompanied
By a sense of well-being and a million lagers
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away on this ship of beers
The sea is getting rough,
But we're oblivious
To the danger of
The savage force
Of this tremendous raging beast,
We're lying down below
And dreaming of the land
Where the trees are shaped like cans
We're wholly confident
Of this craft and our inevitable descent
Along with the crew and captain I suspect
Are sinking down
Into a drunken stupor.
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away on this ship of beers
Something must be wrong
The sea is very angry
Now it won't be long
'til Davy Jones can claim me
Hopefully he'll fell
Like a cleansing ale
After all he's only human.
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
I keep to myself because I feel no longer safe
When I thought I had found everything I will ever need
I'll close my eyes and make a wish
My life has come apart at the seams.
Now plagued but never replaced
For all the hours
For all the days
For that whole fucking year
Get fucked
Get fucked
Your life is dead to me
I have all that I need
I'll spend the night alone cause you are dead to me
After everything you put me through I'm glad to be without you
You're the worst person on this earth another knife to the back can’t hurt anymore
For all the lies your told, the hours that I waited alone
All the times that I stayed up late. The whole year was nothing more than a waste
When I'm done with writing you off
When I'm done with cutting you down
Send a meat truck
We're still breathing
Some days I wake up and hope
The world is a better place
Same old story yet a different day again and again
I'll tear out your eyes and take them away with me
Just so that you can see the world
The world that I've got to see
Now sink with me
When you look around trying to realise how
How you got to this miserable place
All your friends are gone family dead
Life passed you by
Feeling alone inside
Everything is dead
Everything you ever loved has slipped away
Some things can never last forever
This is where it ends
Everything is dead
Everything is fucking dead
Everything is dead
I'll make sure they leave your heart til last
Now sink with me
We're still breathing
I wrote the book on how to ruin everything
There's something that I wanted to say for so long
I try and speak but the words don't come to me at this very second
there's no way of understanding where I'm coming from
just another mistake on this roller coaster life
Hoping to hide in a place without sunlight
on the way I hope to find answers of what I want from life
You cannot put the color of money in front of pride
Just another mistake in this roller coaster life
Lost, so Lost,
Hopefully I remember the way back to where I came from
Hope, all I have is hope
Retracing footsteps away from my darkest days
In just a few words, fuck you and goodbye!
I stumble off into the night
No point, sticking around
This will never be the same again
Just another mistake
When everything is unbearable
A sombre mood surrounds
I ride this train alone
Piece by Piece you're pulling me down
you're on your knees waiting for the lights to go out
your hopes and dreams have a been cast away
Addictions lead so any friends astray
Give me some breathing space
Just a second to catch my breathe
relax and check reality out for its self
Release your hands from around my neck
Release me from the shackles keeping me at bay
Don't try and be a hero
A soldier without a gun
A knight without a sword
A model without face
Once human but now a machine
Brutality, will reign supreme
Greed will only cripple the week
Brutality
Continue to run
Run Away
Always failing
Making the same mistakes
Failed in life
I see your greedy eyes
Taking for granted what you have
You've talked so tough, so good luck to you
Please stay safe at home tonight
This is love and hate
I'll burn your house to the fucking ground
The fire will light up the skies
Your neighbours will sit back and watch
Happy cause your wife's a whore
I’ll show you all that I'm callous and selfish
Here's a warning
Everything is different to the way things used to be
Home always stays the same, but the people around you change
This just comes to show the age of you and me
The question is are you happy with the path you made
Seasons have changed
I will not give up on you
Don't give up on me
Everything is different to the way things used to be
Home always stays the same, but the people around you change
This just comes to show the age of you and me
The question is are you happy
Home will always stay the same
You better make this fucking hurt
Step back and take your aim
Is this the right step to take?
Cause if you show any doubt this will be the end of you
I'll show no fear, as I come back for revenge
I'll come to kill you and let the dogs eat your family alive
Locked and loaded
Fear causes you to cry
On the count of three my brains explode on your face
Locked and loaded
I smell fear in the air
My ghost will come to kill you, just to prove
Just to prove a point.
My revenge will begin tonight
I'll show no mercy for your friends and family
I'll come for them first
Just so I can hurt you more
We're drowning in the ocean
Breathing in the water
We're drowning in the ocean overnight
Turn down the lights
So I can come alive
Turn down the lights
Let me live
Let me live again
Where have all your idols gone
Dead and drifting out to sea
Where have all your idols gone
Do you feel the world you have left is crumbling
awake till the sun comes up. asleep till the sun goes down
Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey
Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake
Don't try and believe you'll live forever
I try to scream at you
Get ready for a ride with no fucking turning back
Look at yourself in the mirror tonight
Pail face black eyes
Your lips are turning blue
Your pulse is now lost forever
Things can never be the same again
Do you feel your life is crashing down
Bet you never been so cold
it doesn't get any lower than this
Can't live can't breath
Defeated, and broken
Your future is fucking lost
You're running scared
You're falling down with a sickness
You cant just burn away at your mistakes
Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey
Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake
your place here is dead
And your future is plauged by a baren past
Now fall asleep tonight, Feeling cold, No place to go
The ride rose so fast you didn't have time to think
Wave crashing storms above collide
The problem is, hope won't clear this devastation
Shadows below circle, you struggle
Your lungs fill with guilt
Now you've had some time to think
While you're sinking
The oceans strength will drag you beneath
The fact now so clear, the truth is hard to hear
Even in water your sweat protrudes
How does it feel
To tread so far
Lost sight of the shore
Lost sight of everything
How did you let this ocean defeat you?
How did it come to this?
You're always giving up
You've got nothing to show for this
Always swimming for your life
You're lost in the ocean depths
But never finding the shore
The ride rose so fast I didn't have time to think
Wave crashing storms above collide
In every sea treachery
There's a killer beneath
In every sea treachery
Is closer than you think
Your life is a shipwreck
You're lost in the depths
[Quote from American Psycho]
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
The storm above won't affect the city still sleeping,
The lights are on, but there's no one home;
Is there anyone left?
Tuck me into bed tonight and let the poison settle inside
I sleep in shame; it's another dark and lonely day
Pushed to the edge time and time again
In this world we live, we lost all control
Lost all hope
As the city shines so fucking bright,
There's no life in these streets tonight
Still running, no place to go
This winter chill will break my bones
Send me to sleep on this bed of nails,
Force me to shut my eyes
Standing close enough to watch my skin turn pale
Send me to sleep so alone
Cut my ties and kill all hope
No signs of life left in this burning world
Tuck me into bed tonight and let me relive
Another miserable moment
Rise and fall, live and learn
Rise and fall, live and die
The world's weight will slowly come to sink us
Rise and fall
Open the gates and watch this city go up in flames
No heart or soul
Raise hell
Upon this beautiful dream, I'll cause your nightmares
I'll kill you in your sleep, believe these fucking words
I am coming for vengeance there will be nothing left
We don't want your deceased
We don't want your sick and weak
We don't want your deceased
We don't want your sick and fucking weak
Hey, hey
Are you ready to rise, rise from hell
Is this a horrible nightmare, or is it a beautiful dream
I created this horror cause I don't give a fuck
Fuck
Holy fucking shit
You are nothing more than a ghost
Scratching at your skin
You’re hearing the voices dragging you closer into hell
People like you're replaced, replaced so easily
Ah fuck
You are the shell of the human that you were before
Can’t you see what you've done to yourself you've become everything you hate
The heat from within in burning at your feet
Your pail face and swollen eyes, I see cracks in your skin
I see a pail face, I see the shell that once was.
You are the shell of the human that you were before
Can't you see what you've done to yourself you've become everything you hate
Hope and suicide go hand in hand
Fuck
I hear the voices
I see your pail face
Dragging you to closer into hell
Abandoned and left for dead
Another face in an overcrowded room
Sometimes I feel I've fucking lost, I've said goodbye to the ones I love
I ran a mile to find the place; the place that I used to called my home
This integrity is still deep, the future set is unknown
So at my signal
Unleash hell
So at my signal on this world
Unleash Hell
Take it for all its fucking worth
All the places that we got to see
Have made you and me
They've made you and me
The highs and lows sometimes is lost and missing home
We made it here; we fucking made it on our own
We had too much hope in a small town that we called home,
We will never forget our past or where we started out,
All our friends who made us who we are, who we are today
This integrity is still deep, the future set is unknown
Glacklungs no longer breathe the same
now you're choking, drowning in a sea of sudden death
would you have it any other way?
look outside, days polluted
now it's time to face the end
with one quick breath
it'll spread like a plague
it'll take your breath away
hands over eyes
you're blind to the world
and it's all gone to hell
you can't play dead forever
look outside days polluted
now it's time to face the end
with one quick breath
it'll spread like a plague
so how does it feel?
you did this all on your own
so how does it feel?
you did this alone
all on your own
you this on your own
some things are unforgettable
some things are unforgivable
this plague now takes our breath away
unforgivable!
I see you at the point of no return
(of no return)
Alone in a different world
What's the point of coward's lies?
There is no turning back.
Backing out was never an option because we're drawn,
tonight a coward's lie is exposed for what it's worth.
Growing up way too fast,
growing up way too fast.
Growing up.
You believe in nothing,
You never stood for something.
You believe in nothing,
Your life suffers to survive
You never stood for anything.
I will never forget,
I will never forget.
Because I am heartless.
Mother fucking heartless.
Growing up way too fast.
Growing up way too fast.
You believe in nothing,
You never stood for something.
You believe in nothing,
Your life suffers to survive.
You never stood for anything.
There was no turning back.
Backing out was never an option because we're drawn,
tonight a coward's lie is exposed for what it's worth.
(now it's time for a breakdown)
Fuck the life that you live,
fuck everything you stand for.
I see you at the point of no return
(of no return)
Alone in a different world
What's the point of coward's lies?
There is no turning back.
Another year has gone so fast. With this story told.
Another chapter of life dies, and we're dreaming as we rest.
I'll never let this world, see my fucking face again.
fuck the preaching, kill the choir
stop trying to impress.
And we'll never let this world see our faces.
Tonight we all have to sleep alone.
blocked out the words that you waste.
In the end we die with nothing but memories.
Although time is fading all so fast
Have you seen the world for what its worth
No more sinking feelings, No more wasted times
We'll fall asleep tonight with something you can only wish for
(Mosh)
Isolated... & so dependent.
trapped inside of world solitude.
Another Year Has Gone By
this fucking world failed us
with the nite fading life is the hardest fight.
Walking away from the shadows..
You heard the last from me.... Fuck you and good nite
Although time is fading all so fast
Have you seen the world for what its worth
No more sinking feelings, No more wasted times
We'll fall asleep tonight with something you can only wish for
Am I Still afraid
Frustrating those around me
This mind is a constant race
This mind is a constant fucking mess
Never slowing down, never fucking calm
A race that never ends
And I am sorry, but I will never slow things down.
It's just the way that I know how to keep me one step ahead of the crowd
And I am sorry, that I left you behind
But I can't slow down
The years have passed so fast, I'm still never slowing down
Never take anything you have for granted
Frustrating those around me
Never slowing down, never fucking calm
Sometimes I feel like giving up
I've been a danger to myself,
Future is grim
I can see into the future
Things do not look calm
All these past mistakes
Fake friends I've made
Caused issues I can't bare
As I see into the future things do not look safe
As they walk past all I see is hate
Eternal rage
I hope you hate me
Because my feelings are the same
You are nothing more than a fucking waste of time
I live the life you wanna live, I live the life you'd die to live
I live a life that you'd die for, I live the life that you'd die to live
I live the life you wanna live
Burnt your lungs for all you're worth
The sickest smell will surround
Skin burnt beyond belief
You’re burnt from the inside out
I hope you enjoyed your time, I hope you had fun
I hope you know times will get tough and you'll be lonely sometimes.
You've never looked me in the eyes
You never have to, you never have to
See the eyes of your enemies
Cause you know they resemble me
So take some pictures and if all
Your friends even exist at all
Say goodbye to them as you're burning.
I hope you are happy on your own.
If I had your life
I'd fucking hate it to
Say goodbye to them as you’re burning
For now, all your signs of life are bright
But tomorrow could be a different story
There's only so long you can live
Before everything that's inside will give up the ongoing fight
It hurts to breathe sometimes
Your insides are burning
This world that we live in is a lonely place to hide
This is just the beginning of a story that i'm here to tell you
I'll hang this cross upside down around my neck
Forget about what you believe in, forget about everything you stand for
All the lies confused minds fucking blind - seeking shelter under a sun,
A SUN THAT NEVER SETS
Seeking shelter in a world of lies, under a sun that never sets
Time will tell
If it is my time
I will lie down, and burn under this sun
If it is my time
I will burn so bright
I'm still pissing blood
I'll give you one reason why i cannot stand the sight of you
Sinking always sinking
I clearly stole this line from a friend of mine
You're praying to no one, because no one fucking cares
Set me free
I came back from the dead
I have so many scars embedded in my skin
Remind me of days gone by
Remind me of the years that have passed
I stood my ground to come out better off
I take it in every breath it could be the fucking last
I came from a town that will always be home
So many memories that will die with me
I came from a town that will always be home
So many memories will fucking die with me
Try and cut me down to my knees
I will stand back up to fight
Nine lives I just won't die
NO MERCY
NO REMORSE
I seen death before I know I'll see it again
I have so many scars in bedded in my skin
Remind me of days gone by
Remind me of the years that have passed
I've seen death before it still hurts to breath
I've seen death before me
BARELY BREATHING
It hurts to breath left for dead
LEFT ME FOR DEAD
The storm sets in
It's another lonely night
I walk the streets determined
No one can stop me now
I never been so alert, I can even see through walls
The lonely night ahead has never been so cold
Pull my teeth straight from my jaw; it’s the pain I'm longing for
The life that I live is something that I should never let go
I've lived in fear for far too long
I've found everything that I need, inside of me
I'll show no mercy, to anyone who dare cross me
The storm pass me by as I sleep
Passed out in pure disgust
I feel my bones aching, body shaking
As I sleep on a bed of nails
I'm still waiting, Always fucking waiting
In the freezing cold
Dead of night
I built myself to last
Through the storm
The life that I live
Is a road of uncertainty
I could wake up tomorrow with nothing, and still be happy
This is our lives this is reality and it fucking hurts
The moral to the story is right now
push it away
cold in the land of grey
suck it all in
i'm watchin them cringe
damn what a waste
boy's got that perscription taste
he's dying away
look at him fabe
there has to be another way
the aftermath is devastating
writhing, leave me medicating
the hating, the horror
haunts my day
if I can get a chance to brush off this decay
who gives a fuck
gimme what i need
another dose
and i stop shaking tonight
(pull myself up off the floor )
kneel down and exorcise (2x)
1(prepare for what's in store)
2.im resurrecting
lock it away
beneath the pain
beneath the insane
take it all in
I'll take the blame
pushing the grave
the cancer radiates in her face
you ruined my stay
so I'll destroy the faith
there has to be another way
I'm in the rubble contemplating
the pills, that thrills
killing not aiding
hating the horror
that haunts my day [ I think its droughts actually ]
if I could get another chance
I'd probably throw it away
who gives a fuck
gimme what i need
another dose
I'll resurrect
for all to see
and death to those
who forsaken me
and i stop shaking tonight
(pull myself up off the floor )
kneel down and exorcise (2x)
1(prepare for what's in store)
2.im resurrecting
dead man walkin' baby
call 'em how I see 'em
killin' time killin' pain baby
but instead you're killin' me...
back away
from the pain
its inasne
and I'll throw away
all the things that sting
so back away
its okay
you're a stain
and now you'll rot away
it's sickening
and i stop shaking tonight
(pull myself up off the floor )
kneel down and exorcise (2x)
1&3(prepare for what's in store)
Look at him, look at him!
Is that what they say,
When I walk by baby,
Eyes meet in a haze?
Lie to me, lie to me
Tell me it's true,
Because, I still want you
Look at her, look at her!
Is what I whisper as you walk by baby, beautiful and pure.
Sing to me, sing to me!
You know that I will!
Do you love me still?
Nothing me and nothing you,
We're just watching it fall through.
Taking time, but time is gone.
So I'll leave you with a song.
[Chorus]
I'll run away.
Please come with me.
I've always wanted you to see.
If you and me,
Could somehow be.
There'd be nothing else I'd ever need.
Keep fighting, keep riding on!
All of it, all of it,
And a little more hey,
I want it all little lady,
I like the way you play.
Lie to me, lie to me,
Tell me you do!
Because, I must have you.
Beautiful, beautiful,
Listen to me!
The drugs are gone baby,
I can see clearly!
Lie to you, lie to you,
Never again.
So just, just take my hand!
Nothing me and nothing you,
We're just watching it fall through.
Taking time, but time is gone.
So I'll leave you with a song.
[Chorus]
Nothing me and nothing you,
We're just watching it fall through.
Taking time, but time is gone.
So I'll leave you with a song.
Downtown where no angels are found, we got our own underground
let me show you 'round
welcome yea sinners and saints, come see the king in restraints
the queen with his crown
Pure cry as we pass 'em on by, and you can look in our eyes
and see no signs of light
hang 'em high on the streetlights tonight, and there's no losing the fight
we tie our nooses tight.
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn
he'll bring you to his level, so you can feel the burn...
get down, pass the bottle around
pray to the lord you don't drown, and we can show you how
sluts twist through the smoke and the mist
so get your hand off your dick and I can show you how
hell bent, none of us heaven sent
around the fire we chant, so just walk on by
hold tight to your daughters tonight
cuz you know I'll fuck 'em right, you know I damn well might...
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn
he'll bring you to his level, so you can feel the burn...
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn
down south, all the rebels
are standing proud and firm
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn
he'll bring you to his level, so you can feel the burn... (x2)
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn
down south, all the rebels
(verse 1)
You shoulda seen his disease, when he breathes!
The insects they cover him, watch them feed!
You shoulda seen the vermin breed, and us there seed!
We all Dance in the wind, like dying leaves!
(pre-chorus)
So take a ride on the other side and see how things look through these eyes. x2
Cause I wanna break out. x2
(chorus)
And I wanna break out of this skin.
And i wanna lay waste to everything I've been.
And I shed the shackles.
Cut away the skin.
Let's break, every fucking thing I've every been.
(verse 2)
You shoulda known I alone, am not condoned!
So look down upon me clone, your life's on loan!
You shoulda known I have grown, grown into stone!
So you need to find you own, your own fucking home!
(prechorus)
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
(verse 1)
They heard the virgins weeping,
Down to town square we go!
There they'll be cleansed by fire!
I know your yearning to burn the virgin!
Let's bring the morales back to,
Back to the town we know.
Nothing is ever sacred,
My final warning, to you I will sing.
I've got the time to lie,
I've lost my faith in you!
These city lights show me what's true!
And it's time for you and I to die!
The city's eating us alive!
(chorus)
And we're running from the start,
We the blackest ice.
Running from what we can change.
Abandon the empire,
You sound the bell,
Bring on hellfire, you might as well.
I'll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me!
(verse 2)
Whores stole the morales laughing,
Into the ground they'll go.
And I shall be the cleasing,
Taste her sickness.
Yeah I get this!
And I want you purest virgins.
You know they need me too!
Cuase it's been hard to resist,
The father of lies will die tonight!
And it's time for you and I to die!
The city's eating us alive!
This shithouse is going up in flames,
and I'll never be the same!
(chorus)
And when we sleep,
We're all so weak!
Because we can't shake the sadness that seeps!
Put on your mask.
We'll fake it past!
But you'll never wash my heart away!
(chorus)
And we're running... running from what we can change!
For every lie I ever told, for every line I ever sold.
For everyone I ever hurt before,
I could always find a good excuse
I could always find something to use
I could always find a way out of the truth.
Well it used to feel okay inside to get in their face and tell these lies.
But not today? I? m breaking free.
Jealousy, look what you? ve done.
You? ve got a hold of me, you? ve made me become.
Thought I? d never be what I? m running from,
This jealousy look what it's done.
I never thought the day would come to say sorry for the things I? ve done
I know the list is long but that? s all on me,
I can? t really find the words to make ones I? ve hurt,
But I hope they see this side of me.
I swear that I? ve been waiting, I? ve been waiting, to say.
Oh Jealousy, look what you? ve done.
You? ve got a hold of me, you? ve made me become.
Thought I? d never be what I? m running from,
This jealousy look what it's done.
You ripped apart my insides
You know that I can? t sleep.
You tear apart my whole life
You take the best of me?
Oh Jealousy, look what you? ve done.
You? ve got a hold of me, you? ve made me become.
Thought I? d never be what I? m running from,
This jealousy look what it's done.
Oh jealousy, Oh jealousy, look what you? ve done.
You? ve got a hold of me, you? ve made me become.
Thought I? d never be what I? m running from,
This jealousy look what it's done.
You ripped apart my insides (this jealousy)
You know that I can? t sleep.
You tear apart my whole life (this jealousy)
You take the best of me?
I felt my world collapse.
Searching for strength, walls fall beside me. This is a war.
Without warning life can change.
These years of memories will never fade away.
If only I could take away your pain.
Sleep well tonight, rest your weary head, for tomorrow the sun will rise.
When we’re faced with darkness, don’t be afraid.
Take my hand. I will be there right beside you.
United we stand.
Friends will come & go, family is forever.
I hope, I dream for better days.
Darkness has fallen upon my world.
This callous beast has shown me it's venomous teeth.
Cold hearted killer.
Sleep well tonight, rest your weary head, for tomorrow the sun will rise.
When we’re faced with darkness, don’t be afraid.
Take my hand. I will be there right beside you.
United we stand.
Life without you will never be the same.
It will never be the same.
I will fight, I will fight for you.
Disease is taking you under, but it's not over.
Together through and through.
Hope for the hopeless.
Heart for the heartless.
