A Line in the Sand

 

Today, we stood on the wall

We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns

We laughed at it all

And when they, they told us to go

We paid them no mind like every other time

But little did we know

 

Today, I looked for a sign

With flames in my hands

A line in the sand between yours and mine

And it came like fire from below

Your greed led the call, my flag had to fall

But little did you know

 

Another day, your truth will come

You’re gonna pay for what you’ve

Pay for what you’ve done

You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime

You’ll tell them, “Give me back what’s mine”

“Give me back what’s mine!”

 

I’d never been a coward, I’d never seen blood

You’d sold me an ocean, and I was lost in the flood

We were counting on a leader, we were driven by need

But couldn’t take temptation, and we were blinded by greed

 

You were steady as a sniper, we were waiting on a wire

So we never saw it coming when you ran from the fire

You can try intimidation and you can try to ignore

But when the time comes calling, yeah, you are gonna get yours

 

Another day, your truth will come

You’re gonna pay for what you’ve

Pay for what you’ve done

You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime

You’ll tell them “Give me back what’s mine”

“Give me back what’s mine!”

 

And so today, your truth has come

You’re gonna pay for what you’ve

Pay for what you’ve done

You’ll get what’s yours, you’re out of time

And you will give me back what’s mine

Give me back what’s mine!

 

Give me, give me back what’s mine!

Give me, give me back what’s mine!

What’s mine!

Give me, give me back what’s mine!

What’s mine! What’s mine!

Give me back what’s mine!

 

Today, we stood on the wall

We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns

We laughed at it all

And when they, they told us to go

We paid them no mind like every other time

But little did we know
