《Firstborn Son》歌词

[00:00:00] I was the firstborn son of a firstborn son

[00:00:06] In the wake of family tragedy

[00:00:12] After fruitless years I was the chosen one

[00:00:18] To plant the flag of destiny

[00:00:23] To eyes who saw what they had seen

[00:00:29] I was a screaming bloody symbol

[00:00:35] Of life and what it once had been

[00:00:40] Before the Marching crush of evil

[00:00:46] I was the firstborn son of a firstborn son

[00:00:56] We prayed each night to the risen God

[00:01:01] For our loved ones health and safety

[00:01:07] Then we locked the doors and windows up

[00:01:12] So there was no danger and we were not free

[00:01:19] The big bad world was on the hunt

[00:01:24] And its dogs were fixed on our scent

[00:01:30] Clouds of fear may block the sun

[00:01:36] Still the earth remains in orbit

[00:01:45] God help the man who helps himself He needs no other devil

[00:02:00] Give us courage now to say farewell to this fear and watch it crumble

[00:02:54] I've worked a job since I was twelve years old

[00:03:00] A student of the middle class of America

[00:03:06] Pull up your bootstraps baby you're on your own

[00:03:11] You are what you have and you don't have much

[00:03:18] The manna rained down from the sky

[00:03:23] And I looked for explanation

[00:03:30] Moses walked the sea bone dry

[00:03:35] In my father's generation

[00:03:41] And this firstborn son won't stop asking why

[00:03:45] Why

[00:03:47] God help the man who helps himself He needs no other devil

[00:04:00] Give me courage now to face myself and dance as these walls crumble

[00:04:22] Torn down by the blood of a firstborn son
