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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why [00:03:45]

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

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

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