lyrics

Heed the call
Why does this world keep growing ever colder
Set fire to it all
When every second persons glaring like the snake haired
Catch a glimpse of the eye and get turned to stone by the drive to climb up to the top of it all

Wake up and slide down the side of the mountain

When these ivory towers call
The crowns they offer feel so dull
They are worth nothing at all to me
They won't wash away all of my pain
False vanity is laced with shame
These ivory towers are fated to fall

Will you stand up or be beat blind when the world ends
Will you crawl out from under your mountain of deceit again
Will you stand up or be beat blind

Look up to the spires
They're hiding in glass castles
If our resistance is strong
They might fall to revolutions call
Fall to revolutions call

Prepare for the killing blow
Pick up anything near and scratch this veneer
Destroy the facade of the ruling elite
We don't want to compete anymore

When these ivory towers call
They mean nothing

Will you stand up or be beat blind when the world ends
Will you crawl out from under your mountain of deceit again
Will you stand up or be beat blind
