This is the year
Where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiment
And the bastards you know
Is the hero you hate
But cohesing is possible if we try
There's no reason
There's no lesson
No time like the present
Tell me right now
What have you got to lose?
What have you got to lose?
Except your soul
Who's with us?
(verse)
I fight, for the unconventional
I write, and it's unconditional
I can only, be as real as I can
I didn't finish this, I never knew the plan
This isn't, the way to be a martyr
I can't, walk alone any longer
I fight, for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose then at least I tried
(chorus)
We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots
(verse)
I won't
Be the inconsequential
I won't
Be the wasted potential
I can make it
As severe as I can
Until you realize you'll never take us down
It isn't
Just a one sided vision
We dealt
With a man as efficient
I won't
Let the truth be perverted
And now I'll leave another victim deserted
(chorus)
We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots
(bridge)
Say it again, Say it again
(One more time)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, Say it again
(One more time)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
(verse)
We fight
But no one can fight us
We live
And no one can stop us
We pout
But we're much too far
And the advantage is
The bad alliance
We never
Got to decide in the first place
We only
Get to spit back in their face
We won't
Walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger
(chorus)
We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots
(bridge)
Say it again, Say it again
(One more time)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, Say it again
(We won't die)
