  • I don't care for this world anymore
    I just want to live my own fantasy
    Fate has brought us to these shores
    What was meant to be is now happening

    I've found that I like this living in danger
    Living on edge it feels
    It makes us feel as one
    Who cares now what's right or wrong
    It's reality
    Killing so we survive
    Wherever we may roam
    Wherever we may hide
    We've got to get away

    I don't want existence to end
    We must prepare ourselves for the elements
    I just want to feel like we're strong
    We don't need a code of morality

    I like all the mixed emotion and anger
    It brings out the animal the power you can feel
    And feeling so high with this much adrenalin
    Excited but scary to believe what we've become

    Saints and sinners
    Something within us
    We are lord of the flies

    Saints and sinners
    Something willing us
    To be lord of the flies

    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Saints and sinners
    Something within us
    We are lord of the flies

    Saints and sinners
    Something willing us
    To be lord of the flies

    Saints and sinners
    Something within us
    We are lord of the flies

    Saints and sinners
    Something willing us
    To be lord of the flies Writer/s: Janick Gers, Stephen Percy Harris
