Lyrics

My eyes still burn from the bodies all around
My ears still ringing from the awful sound of your last words, walking away
Still I'm left remembering the day you left me for dead
So can you see the outcome?
Did you count the cost?
And is it heavier than hell?
Is it heavier than hell?
These desperate hands reach for the sky
Looking for escape before my heart breaks
Arriving one day too late on the sun bleached shore
We've been digging our graves from the day we were born
A brave new world wrapped up in clouds of smoke
If I survive, what do I carry home?
So can you see the outcome?
Did you count the cost?
And is it heavier than hell?
And is it worth the loss?
We're already dead, we're already dead
Carry me home, just carry me home
I wanna know, I wanna know: if I survive, what do I carry home?
