Life at the Top

We will never be happy, we will never see beauty
We pay for the sins that we never could commit
In this grave is where I sleep, I’m not going to rest in peace
Here I lay, paying for sins that I did not commit
Life at the top, watching the world burn below
How you got this position, I will never know
Live like you’re above any other being
When you’re breathing the same air that I’m breathing
Promises of a promised land
I can’t be saved, we’re eternally damned
On your own, not a leg to stand
To be saved is not my plan
Day after day, I have to stop and look away
With everything to lose and nothing I can gain
Counting down 'til I reach my final hour
The judge that I face, I’ll crush and live forever
Promises of a promised land
I can’t be saved, we’re eternally damned
On your own, know where you stand
To be saved is not part of my plan
