Lyrics: 

Oceans rise, summits fall 
Fading fast, it won't be long 
Everything will be consumed, rendered lost 
At the hands of fools tomorrow's gone 
So say goodbye 

(Chorus) 
Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing 
Justify all that you consume  
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? 
All your lies serve no one but you 

Blood machines burn the skies 
Turning day into night 
Everything will fade to dust again, weak or strong 
So don't pretend you've done no wrong 
'cause you know that I'm right 

Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing 
Justify all that you consume  
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? 
All your lies serve no one but you 

One day you will see what you've done 
The world you chose to bleed will be dead and gone 

(Solo) 

Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing 
Justify all that you consume  
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? 
All your lies serve no one but you
