Necropolis Lyrics by Otherwise

Otherwise

2006

[Verse 1]
Riding upon a pale horse
Ignite the skies in praise of death
Red, white, and blue has run its course (Red, white, and blue has run its course)
As our lady peace takes her dying breath

[Chorus]
Carry the cross, you are the slave
Bury the lost in shallow graves
Burning the flag that you save (Burning the flag that you save)
Earning the bronze not worth its weight

[Verse 2]
And now you're drowning in the waters that rise
To wash away your life, and you don't understand
Why you're burdened the levy's demise
In a city of the damned
And your only hope slips through your fingers as it dies
(And your only hope slips through your fingers as it dies)
The ruins of your life touched on by butterflies

[Pre-Chorus]
Biting the hand that bleeds you

[Chorus]
Carry the cross, you are the slave
Bury the lost in shallow graves
Burning the flag that you save (Burning the flag that you save)
Earning the bronze not worth its weight

[Bridge]
When you hear the wounded start to cry
Another soldier has to die

[Chorus]
Carry the cross, you are the slave
Bury the lost in shallow graves
Burning the flag that you save (Burning the flag that you save)
Earning the bronze not worth its weight
