Lyrics:

We Take Our Virtues Up In Arms
To Save Ourselves
Tonight Our Fighting Friends Will Stand Here
And Die With Us

Halo, You Mean Nothing To Me
Angel, You Mean Nothing To Me

If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine

We'll Wear Our Scars Above Our Arms
And Covered Up
Should We Keep This Open Ended
And Just For Us

Halo, You Mean Nothing To Me
Angel, You Mean Nothing To Me

If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine

Just Take A Look At Yourself
You'd See Reflections In All Your Impurities
The Taste, Taste Of A Burnt Tongue

If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine
You Mean Nothing To Me
