Graveyards

Gather 'round, children, I'll tell you a tale
This one you won't find in a book on a shelf
All throughout history there were people like me
Crying and screaming for you to believe, singing
'I've done no wrong, I've done no wrong
I've done no wrong, I've done no wrong'

When you are human, fear does funny things
You let lust and greed take your burnt offerings
Give no regard to the miserable state of the world
No, you must not be awake, singing
'Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong
Nothing is wrong, nothing's wrong'

They branded us witches and vampires
Tried to bury us deep in their graveyards
Graveyards, graveyards, graveyards
Make no mistake, this world is ours
Make no mistake this world is ours
This world is ours

They mock us for flinching when they draw near
'Don't try to fight it, sit quiet now, dear
It must be demon that's raising your voice'
All these false exorcisms, you don't have a choice, screaming
'I'm standing up, I'm standing up
I'm standing up, I'm standing up'

They branded us witches and vampires
Tried to bury us deep in their graveyards
Graveyards, graveyards, graveyards
Make no mistake, this world is ours
Make no mistake this world is ours
This world is ours

Raised from the dead, brought back to life
You carry your ancestor's pain in your spine
Raised from the dead, brought back to life
We don't have to do this, this time we can fight
Raised from the dead, brought back to life
You carry your ancestor's pain in your spine
Raised from the dead, brought back to life
We don't have to do this, this time we can fight
Raised from the dead, brought back to life
You carry your ancestor's pain in your spine
Raised from the dead, brought back to life
We don't have to do this, this time we can fight
