Lyrics

    Down on your knees you'll be left behind – this is the beginning 
    Watch what you think they can read your mind – this is the beginning
    I got my mark see it in my eyes – this is the beginning
    My reflection I don't recognize – this is the beginning
   
    We think we've climbed so high
    Up all the backs we've condemned
    We face our consequence
    This is the beginning of the end
    
    You wait your turn you'll be last in line – this is the beginning
    Get out the way because I'm getting mine – this is the beginning
    God helps the ones that can help themselves – this is the beginning
    May be too late as far as I can tell – this is the beginning
    
    We think we've come so far 
    On all our lies we depend 
    Facing our consequence 
    This is the beginning of the end
