The Foundations of Decay

The Foundations of Decay - My Chemical Romance

Lyrics by：Gerard Way/My Chemical Romance

See the man who stands upon the hill

He dreams of all the battles won

But fate had left its scars upon his face

With all the damage they had done

And so time with age

He turns the page

Let the flesh

Submit itself to gravity

Let our bodies lay while our hearts we'll save

Let our blood invade if I die in vain

Now if your convictions were a passing faith

May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays

And as the vermin crawls

We lay in the foundations of decay

He was there the day the towers fell

And so he wandered down the road

And we would all build towers of our own

Only to watch the rooms corrode

But it's much too late

You're in the race

So we'll press

And press 'til you can't take it anymore

Let our bodies lay while our hearts we'll save

Let our blood invade if I die in vain

And if by his own hand his spirit flies

Take his body as a relic to be canonized now

And so he gets to die a saint

But she will always be the w***e

Let's flip out

Against faith

Antihero

Against all life

As if it must be pure

Against change

Wander through the ruins

We are free

The guiltiness is yours

You must fix your heart

And you must build an altar where it rests

When the storm decays and the sky it rains

Let it flood let it flood let it wash away

And as we stumble through your last crusade

When you welcome your extinction in the morning rays

And as the swarming calls we lay in the foundations

Yes it comforts me much more

Yes it comforts me much more

To lay in the foundations of decay

Get up coward
