You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try, but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl

I don't know why, But I keep picturing an army of dead/mutilated soldiers (Maybe psychologically damaged)

As idiotic as it may sound, I've never heard a more aggressive, violent NIN. I believe Year Zero is going to be one tough cookie to digest. As fort he meaning, I've got nothing to say. Trent's lyrics have never been obscure- it's all there out in the open. A shame for humanity, another bullseye for mr. reznor

Very impressive song. I can see what Spin meant when they said the new stuff was minimalistic.
Very, very open about the whole political agenda of the Year Zero thingie. Me likes.

This is amazing. I can't wait for the new album. By the way all this year zero sh*t is pretty freaky. Don't Drink The Water

Nothing like I expected, but then again what NIN cd does sound the same? This song is awesome, the chorus makes you just want to keep chanting it over and over.
