Verse:
Did you see the writing on the wall?
Witness the slaughter?
Then watch them fall?
Who will pay the price
For all these countless lives?
Does it feel like it's a dream?
Golden bullets on your silver screen
Oh! Mercy mercy me
This was never meant to be
Chorus:
Who killed paradise?
Did you watch them
Burn it down to the ground?
Oh! Mercy mercy me
We never should have been
Verse
They nullified your true desires
So we take our steps into the fire
Oh! We are all to blame
But we can't feel the flames
We try to fix this earth with
Broken minds and tainted hearts
Oh! Mercy mercy me
This was never meant to be
Chorus
Who killed paradise?
Did you watch them
Burn it down to the ground?
Oh! Mercy mercy me
We never should've been
