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 climb so high
    all up 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, cause 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 
    we face our consequence 
    this is the beginning of the end
