The Abolition of Man Songtext
von Thrice

Wake up everyone, it′s not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts
Stop giving up our last shot at love
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood

We laugh at honor and are shocked when
We find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Look in my eyes
You won't find your way back
Our only compass smashed under our own heels


Reason abandoned
To appetites and addicts′ arms
Shotguns and silence
Have always been the best charms

Wake up everyone, it's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts
Stop giving up our last shot at love
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood

We laugh at honor and are shocked when
We find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Look in my eyes
You won't find your way back
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Under our iron will


The abolition of man is within
The reach of science
But are we so far gone that we′ll try it?
