Can you tell from the look in our eyes? We're going nowhere We live our lives like we're ready to die We're going nowhere Can you tell from the look in our eyes? We're going nowhere We live our lives like we're ready to die We're going nowhere I thought I'd buried you And covered the tracks You'll have to take this with your cold dead hands I thought I'd buried you What's dead can never die I thought I'd cut you loose Severed the feeling I slipped through the cracks and you caved in my ceiling I thought I'd buried you What's dead can never die F*ck Can you tell from the look in our eyes We're going nowhere We live our lives like we're ready to die We're going nowhere You can run but you'll never escape Over and over again Will we ever see the end? We're going nowhere This is sempiternal Will we ever see the end? This is sempiternal Over and over, again and again Rise from the dead, you say Secrets don't sleep 'til they're took to the grave Signal the sirens, rally the troops Ladies and gentlemen It's the moment of truth Can you tell from the look in our eyes? We're going nowhere We live our lives like we're ready to die We're going nowhere You can run but you'll never escape Over and over again Will we ever see the end? We're going nowhere Can you tell from the look in our eyes? We're going nowhere We live our lives like we're ready to die We're going nowhere You can run but you'll never escape Over and over again Will we ever see the end? We're going nowhere This is sempiternal Will we ever see the end? This is sempiternal Over and over, again and again
