lyrics

Burned

How can I say that I'm sorry
When our generation's plight
Lies with the youth of tomorrow
How can we see them right?

Our heroes adrift
And it's too late for compromising

Oh, another bridge is burned
Another love is spurned
Is there nothing that we've learned?

Hey, let's pretend it's all a big mistake
Remember what you give and what you take
The sacrifice is only made for your sake

How can you preach your devotion
When you want it for yourself
Lies to diffuse the commotion
We're walking into hell

You created a rift
Now it's too late for compromising

Oh, another bridge is burned
Another love is spurned
Is there nothing that we've learned?

Hey, let's pretend it's all a big mistake
Remember what you give and what you take
The sacrifice is only made for your sake

For the land of the free
You're looking pretty lonely
Is there really nothing that you owe me?

Oh, another bridge is burned
Another love is spurned
Is there nothing that we've learned?

Hey, let's pretend it's all a big mistake
Remember what you give and what you take
The sacrifice is only made for your sake

Oh, another bridge is burned
Anyway...
Is there nothing that we've learned?
Another love is spurned
Let's watch this empire burn!
