Lyrics

When your history tells you,
That there ain't nothin' new,
Not your whole way of thinking,
Or your point of view,
When the future is certain,
You're sinking deep in the ground,
Mm, looks like your down for the count.

When the kings are in power,
You're told you've no control,
And you can't march in line,
Like some forgotten soul,
And you try to reach for the sky,
But your hands are well-bound,
Mm- looks like your down for the count.

And you've heard about love,
But that was in a dream,
And these emotions are pounding,
As you break down and scream,
Aw but nobody's listening,
To any thing you feel,
They're already convinced,
That it ain't even real.

And the hounds are all crying,
They were never to pleased,
By being tools of destruction,
Of a filthier beast,
And you almost feel pity,
But that'll just bring you down,
Mm- looks like you're down for the count.

And so no you're on trial,
you must fight for your life,
You've got no one to save you,
Bring you up from your strife,
And you're begging for mercy,
But there ain't none to be found,
Mm- looks like you're down for the count.

Was it something I said?
Was it something I felt?
Was it the mask that I wore
Was it the candle I held
Aw, but nobody's listening
To anything you feel
They're already convinced
That it ain't even real.

When you're trapped in the prison
And all you know is your doom
And you remember a beauty
Safe within your womb
So no you're returning
Only now you won't drown
Mm- Looks like you're down for the count

When you're standing alone,
Before the firing squad
And you forget all your prayers,
And you think about God,
And you think of the rumors,
That he might've left town.

When your heart is surrounded,
By disillusioned thieves,
And your on trial constantly,
Simply for what you believe,
And the truth is discouraged,
'Cause it ain't practically sound,
Mm- looks like you're down for the count
