A Break From Tradition Lyrics

Enforsaken A Break From Tradition

“A Break From Tradition” 
Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell.

Screaming for mercy 
Why can’t they hear me? 
These nights are filled with heartache 
These nights are filled with an empty glass 

Just turn us up and step aside 
We know you very well 
We know what dwells down deep inside 
Come see this from the past 
‘cause the cynics said it would not last 
Now watch them disappear 
The truth will begin right here 

These streets will burn behind you 
As tradition breaks tonight 
Go forth and tell the world 
We have arrived 

Our spirits clad in black 
This color runs down my back 
and leads me to your home 
The channel never has it 
Shift to automatic 
It’s how the cycle goes 
Then see what they really know 

These are the signs of our times 
Take what you want and leave all the rest 
Hearken back to reclaim your creation 
and break this tradition 

For years we have wandered in dismay 
Now here we stand as one 
Stronger than you’ve ever known 

The loss of innocence became your saving grace 

What can we do right now? 
What more can we say? 

Fuel the rage 
Echo salvation 

They’ll never run us out 
We’re martyrs in the making 
Look deep into their eyes 
They’re ripe for the taking 
Erase all the lines and get back in the fold 
This is the day and age 
Of monumental growth and change 

These streets will burn behind you 
As tradition breaks tonight 
Go forth and tell the world 
You have arrived
