[Verse 1] The devil packed his bags and left this town behind He realized there was nothing left for him to find We stole his pitchfork and we learned to wear his suits Marching through the living room in heavy, iron boots You don't need sulfur when you've got a human heart We've mastered the science of tearing things apart A quiet violence hiding underneath the skin Where the frontline ends and the real war begins [Pre-Chorus] We build the cages, we turn the locks We hide the bruises and we stop the clocks Nobody is coming down to save our souls today While the heavens look the other way.. [Chorus] This is a war with no flags, no glorious sound! Just brothers and lovers bleeding out on the ground! We do the devil’s work while he takes a holiday! Burning down the bridges, throwing all the love away! Yeah, we are the monsters we were warned about! Screaming in the dark until the light goes out! [Verse 2] The battlefields are kitchens and the trenches are the beds A million silent landmines planted inside our heads You learn to walk on glass and memorize the floor Always hyper-vigilant behind a locked door The cruelty of a system that looks right past the pain Washing away the evidence in the freezing rain We wrap our cold hands around each other's throats While the politicians write their shiny little quotes [Pre-Chorus] We build the cages, we turn the locks! We hide the bruises and we smash the clocks! Nobody is coming down to save our souls today While the judges and the angels look the other way! [Chorus] This is a war with no flags, no glorious sound! Just brothers and lovers bleeding out on the ground! We do the devil’s work while he takes a holiday! Burning down the bridges, throwing all the love away! Yeah, we are the monsters we were warned about! Screaming in the dark until the light goes out! [Bridge] Show me a savior! Show me a ghost! We always hurt the ones we swear to protect the most! Flesh and bone turning into rust! Grinding every promise into the dust! (Into the dust!) (INTO THE DUST!) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] This is a war with no flags, no glorious sound! Just brothers and lovers bleeding out on the ground! We do the devil’s work while he takes a holiday! Burning down the bridges, throwing all the love away! Yeah, we are the monsters we were warned about! Screaming in the dark... SCREAMING IN THE DARK! [Outro] He left the keys right at the door. We always wanted something more.
