[English]

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 me 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

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
