(Why?) What's inside of the beast
Tell me now what you need
Just not your own execution
(Execute) If I'm bad and I'm torn
Strip it down to the core
Try to fight through redemption
We scream every single word
Begging for some retribution
You wanna feel the wind
If it was all meant to be
Is that the only condition

I pray it turns around

Something to believe
That pulls us to our knees
But all is lost without the will
To let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're
Unforgiven

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Wake up from the lie)

(Shot) From the day that you're born
All you hear is the scorn
From you own institution
(Wipe) Wipe the dirt off your teeth
And try to say what you mean
To start your own revolution
We scream never to be heard
I'm cutting off the one solution
You only bring the disease
And strip away what you need
And hope that God will forgive us

I pray it comes around

Something to believe
That pulls us to our knees
But all is lost without the will
To live and let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're
Unforgiven

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it

Sacrilegious
Do you believe? (Do you believe?)
Watch the pieces (Running till now, running till now)
Oh!

Hold us down, no one wins
Holy wars
Just tell me now, I need to know
I need to know

So please pull us to our knees

But all is lost without the will
To live and let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're

(Why?) I pray it turns around
(Why?) I pray it turns around
I pray it turns around
I pray it turns around

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about living your own truth, while ignoring negativity & oppression that my seem to be all around you.
