Abnegation Lyrics by In Flames

A Sense of Purpose Re-Issue 2014

2008

[Verse 1]
We believe, but we are deceased
Or soon to be
I act surprised
You've seen the seas
It's just enough to feed the trees

[Verse 2]
We believe, but we are not free
This wasteland is our prison
I act surprised
I see the bones through your skin
This radiation from within

[Chorus]
I grant you
This torn land, I'd rather not, live here anymore
Don't say I didn't try
But I'd rather not, live here anymore

[Verse 3]
We believe but we don't see
The coming of the storm
I act surprised
There are warnings from time to time
Signs of our own decline

[Verse 4]
We are the scavengers
We plunder and rape
We're the guests here
The new breed
But act like it's ours to take

[Chorus]
I grant you
This torn land, I'd rather not, live here anymore
Don't say I didn't try
But I'd rather not, live here anymore

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
(We believe but we don't see)

[Chorus]
I grant you
This torn land, I'd rather not, live here anymore
Don't say I didn't try
But I'd rather not, live here anymore

I grant you
This torn land, I'd rather not
Don't say I didn't try
But I'd rather not, live here anymore
