THE HIGHER GROUND

We take them all
We watch the light
We make them run to feel the fight
We make them run to taste the fear
They taste the stink of death
It's here

This is the higher place
This is the higher place
This is the higher place
This is the higher place

This is the pain they feel
And it will fight for me
This is the pain it brings
And it will set me free
When they move to take the field
We move to cut 'em down
Looking for the higher place
We took the higher ground

We took the higher ground
We took the higher ground
We took the higher ground
This is the higher place
We took the higher ground

We take them all
We watch the light
We make them run to feel the fight
We make them run to taste the fear
They taste the stink of death
It's here

We find them all
We run them down
We beat them lifeless on the ground
We grind their bones
We drink their blood
We shit their souls into the mud

Oh, that's okay
I knew that it would happen
Every day

This is the way
They fall
They hit the ground
This is the way, we know
That all is won
This the the way
They fall
They hit the ground
This is the way, we know
That all is one

We took the higher ground
We took the higher ground
We took the higher ground
This is the higher place
We took the higher ground

We take them all
We watch the light
We make them run to feel the fight
We make them run to taste the fear
They taste the stink of death
It's here

We find them all
We run them down
We beat them lifeless on the ground
We grind their bones
We drink their blood
We shit their souls into the mud

Oh, that's okay
I knew that it would happen
Every day

When everything you have, it turns to nothing
And all the things you take with you are free
The beams, they cross the tower as it darkens
Gaze upon red roses as they sing

I want you to breathe for me
I ask you to dream for me
Why can't you sing for me
Why I can't you dream for me?
Why can't I breathe

This is the higher place
