We’re creatures of indecision
Easily undone
Caught inside collisions
Under a dying sun
Take our time for granted
Entitled in this life
Entertain us now
were owed everything in site
Give us what we want
But we don’t to earn
Give us what we think we need
But we don’t want to work
In just a matter of minutes
just a matter of time
we could lose it all
we could lose ourselves
If all we are is just
What we want then
We are the
Destroyers
stop to take it in
think it through now
tread light on
our future
If all we are is just
What we want then
We are the
Destroyers
You see tomorrow’s ours
It’s all for the taking here
Only the valiant survive
To live a better year
Shut up and actually try
No one can help us now
Its us against the tide
And will be till we die
No one gives you what you want
don’t get what you don’t earn
can’t have what you need
only what you deserve
In just a matter of minutes
just a matter of time
we could lose it all
we could lose it all
If all we are is just
What we want
We are the
Destroyers
stop & take it in
think it through now
tread light on
our future
If all we are is just
What we want then
We are the
Destroyers
Behind the Song:About the album:
The title comes from Psalms 62:9, it feels the entire chapter sums up our existence, and our existence in the band. The album cover is the brainchild of Nathan Young and Jordan Butcher.
The title is a mantra that we as ANBERLIN have always tried to adhere to, we never wanted to be ‘rock stars’ we never wanted people to think that we thought of ourselves as better than anyone. We hope that we were more than just a band, we hope in the end that we are considered friends; I felt this was the perfect message to leave out on. - Stephen Christian
About the song 'We Are Destroyer'
We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within. -E.N.
We create our own destiny, I understand that some people are going to have much harder times than others, and that no two lives are alike. Yet, I have seen with my own eyes those who start with nothing and end up successful in their own rite.
I see more and more people that feel entitled, they seemingly feel they do not have to work for what they desire; entertainment outlets show them success stories of people who became famous for absolutely no reason. They think the government or society owes them something for just existing. Its not true. You are owed nothing buy a chance to work hard.
With the same two hands that build empires, they can also destroy. Your character and reputation can be destroyed in seconds. Everything you worked so hard for can be leveled with poor decision making.
If all you are is just what you want then you are the destroyer. - Stephen Christian
