  • If you had the courage to stop me from turning
    Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
    Hey, I'm no angel, or the devil of your conscience
    To tell you who to be
    Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
    If you had good common sense
    Your choices would be gleaming, flawless
    I want no part in this self-deprecating
    Worthless chemistry

    We made our beds to lie in them proud
    Proud of our great mistakes
    This warring knife, the flash of its blade
    Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
    Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
    'Cause this is our war

    Oh, you think they have it all
    While you were left with nothing
    Oh oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
    You made your bed, so soft and comforting
    These dream await the grey good morning

    We made our beds to lie in them proud
    Proud of our great mistakes
    This warring knife, the flash of its blade
    Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
    Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
    'Cause this is our war

    Oh, we've got you by the throat, ha ha ha
    All you want to be

    Welcome all to the everlasting all-time low
    Please put your hands together
    For the ever failing, one man show, Domino

    Ladies and broken gentlemen
    The undisputed champ of misery
    Oh, and in this corner we find his challenger
    The pride of utopia, the greatest thing ever

    If you could recall one moment of your past
    That defined you to be, that made you the man
    We've come to love, all of the above

    This disaster binds us absolute
    A thousand lies you tell yourself
    That no one ever loved you right
    Ooh, but I would do anything for you
    The question fits the question mark
    Your signals crossed your message lost, ha ha

    Well, this has been an extraordinary change of events
    As two great champions at the fight to the finish
    Find themselves in their last and final round
    The fight now being deemed around the world as the upset of the century
    Let's get back to the brawl and in the fray
    The fighters meet in the center of the ring
    The challenger swings to the right
    Quick with a left hook across Domino's jaw
    Followed by a crushing strike to the body
    Oh, he might have took another left
    His hook sends Domino into the ropes
    The challenger lands a devastating combo
    Followed by a driving hook that sends Domino to the floor
    The crowd's on their feet, the ref's called the fight
    He's out, he's out

    This war won't hold forever
    Your time has come, it's now or never

    We made our beds to lie in them proud
    Proud of our great mistakes
    This warring knife, the flash of its blade
    Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
    Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
    'Cause this is our war

    One by one
    We are together, we fall together
    One by one
    We are together, we fall together

    Now my brother, don't be afraid
    We are together, we are together
    Brother
    We are together, we fall together Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez
