Lyrics Story of the Year

Story of the Year

To the Burial

Bleed us, bleed us

For their capital

Lead us, lead us

To the Burial

Yeah…

Yeah,

Step aside and watch the lions roar as they rule

With an iron fist and boundless force

Like a plague - their epidemic spreads across the floor

Just let me introduce you

To who’s behind that door

A smiling face

With style and grace

they'll show you to the fire

Bleed us, bleed us

For their capital

Lead us, lead us

To the Burial

They built their reign of wealth through manufactured wars

As they ship all our factories off to foreign shores

Just to keep their pockets full and leave the people poor

This is the kind of system we've been slaving for

Eventually,

like sheep we'll be,

led blindly to the slaughter

Bleed us, bleed us

For their capital

Lead us, lead us

To the Burial

Headstones bleeds admiration

a Backhanded eulogy

In the face of devastation

Gladly they’ll sing our praise

For a life of slaving and digging our own graves

Now just let the usher show you to the final resting place

Yeah, what a disgrace

We are…

Now!

Just learn to breath

And you will see

Your life is what you make it

Bleed us, bleed us

For their capital

Lead us, lead us

To the Burial

Oh!
