Waste lyrics

We are the salt of the Earth In that we salt this Earth with our bodies Conceived as a curse Condemned as a child of waste We are born hanged And we die in peace Lay our bodies to rest We do not fear death Usurp our legacy Spare us an eternity In Hell We are nothing but a jilted existence Conscience in a prison of flesh Forsaken life Conceived as a curse Condemned as a child of waste We are born hanged And we die in peace One more second in this life and we'll break Hopeless nothingness is all that we face I can see the light I can see the point of escape Bring me the hangman Let me slip through the gate No heaven No forgiveness Born hanged into a world To witness I can see the light I can see the point of escape We treat death as a long lost friend He gives us freedom from this world in the end But strike me down Take me instead For when I was born I was already dead
