The Never

[Verse 1: Chuck Billy]
Dig myself out of the prison that we made
Tether the indignation to our passive rage
I know, I know better
So paint on your halo
And hide from your shadow
And practice everything you'll say

[Pre-Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Took time to find out gold will rust
No one to trust
A crisis to deflect the blame
More of the same

[Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Losing all of your life
Listen how the scream chokes to a whisper
Stand up and testify
Fear is just the lies born of the never

[Verse 2: Chuck Billy]
So trapped and paralyzed
A distant stare reprieve
The loudest silent cries with no recovery
Silver line the lies
And paint your halo
And revoke tomorrow
And regret everything you'll say

[Pre-Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Took time to find out gold will rust
No one to trust
A crisis to deflect the blame
Take all you can

[Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Losing all of your life
Listen how the scream chokes to a whisper
Stand up and testify
Fear is just the lies born of the never

[Bridge: Jake Oni, Jake Oni & Chuck Billy]
And I am the reason
For all that you've lost
A gangrene, a cancer
Eating away at the soul
Suffering the one that's left
Exploiting emotions
It's spinning out of control

[Guitar Solo: Mark Morton]

[Pre-Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Took time to find out gold will rust
No one to trust
A crisis to deflect the blame
Take all you can

[Chorus: Chuck Billy]
Losing all of your life
Listen how the scream chokes to a whisper
Stand up and testify
Fear is just the lies born of the never
Fear is just the lies born of the never
