Through the years karma served you right
Making life for you an endless fight
Leaving me behind to be the man I had to be
And if hell is the place we meet again
I'll open my eyes to everything you tried to make me hate
I won't turn my head and look the other way
I accept my fate, embrace every day
Every single day
I'm just a man they made a martyr to lead a generation
You can pick me apart with your lies and accusations
So if you try to read between the lines you might see
Being above all of the influence
Has always set me free
We are the sons you forced to be men
We are the sons of straight edge
No matter how much you've changed
You still gotta pay for the things you've done
I'm just a man they made a martyr to lead a generation
You can pick me apart with your lies and accusations
So if you try to read between the lines you might see
Being above all of the influence
Has always set me free
You were the ocean that was supposed to engulf me
But you became the tidal wave leaving me to drown at sea
Making life for you an endless fight
Leaving me behind to be the man I had to be
And if hell is the place we meet again
I'll open my eyes to everything you tried to make me hate
I won't turn my head and look the other way
I accept my fate, embrace every day
Every single day
I'm just a man they made a martyr to lead a generation
You can pick me apart with your lies and accusations
So if you try to read between the lines you might see
Being above all of the influence

We are the sons you forced to be men
We are the sons of straight edge
No matter how much you've changed
