The Inheritance

The Inheritance - Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

Take this burning home

Our blood runs hot

But our hearts are cold

These blackened skies and poison seas

Stain our souls

Yet our hands are clean

Is this our legacy

Money matters most

To buy us demons

To turn us into gods

But if money mattered most

Our bottom line

Should buy us hope

Instead we leave you alone

To take this burden

Off our fragile bones

We hand down this mess

To the heirs of our indifference

We pass this torch with shame(we pass this torch with shame)

We pass this torch

For you to put out the flames

So hold your breath and bite your tongues

Daughters and our sons

We leave our own flesh and blood

Work we left undone

Cast the flame

And lay to waste(the future for waste the future for today)

Cast the flame

And lay to waste(the future for waste the future for today)

Mother nature raped

In mankind's wake

This is a disgrace

And makes our children slaves to our mistakes

But we turn the other way(we pass this torch with shame)

For you to douse these flames

So hold your breath and bite your tongues

Daughters and our sons

We leave our own flesh and blood

Work we left undone

We take to the grave

A world that's up to you to save

We take to the grave

A world that's up to you to save

So hold your breath and bite your tongues

Daughters and our sons

We leave our own flesh and blood

Work we left undone

We can keep this long

We can keep this long

We can keep this long
