With aversion this distortion Came so swiftly Cut the cord from this day forward We'll be drifting No direction, no affection Watch the soul dive You're dissected, resurrected Still don't know why This illness is like a monster that is Eating us alive Hold on, be strong So right, so wrong With all of our senses All of our defenses Hold on, be strong New arrival, our survival Still not certain What's a virtue, where do you go to When you're hurting? It's a weakness, it's a sickness In the gene pool Show no mercy, people here say Kill the damned fool This illness is like a monster that is Eating us alive Hold on, be strong So right, so wrong With all of our senses All of our defenses Hold on, be strong My Soul Blood Run Don't ever let me go, no Don't ever let me go, no Never never let you go, no I'll never let you go, no Hold on, be strong So right, so wrong With all of our senses All of our defenses Hold on, be strong
