Mistakes & Glories lyrics

[Verse 1]

Handicap yourself by choice

And keep the mind confined to the chair with no voice

So speak up (You move your lips too slow)

And make way to the center stage

And pretty up that face, cause your servants await

(It's time to play your role)

So sing and dance just the way we like it!

[Chorus]

Sweep the leg!

If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg!

Then you don't stand for nothin

Sweep the leg!

Gonna suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg!

[Verse 2]

A coward dies a thousand times

Death before dishonor, cross the thin red line

So stay alive, (No other place to go)

Silence the facts, dillusions are quoted

Clench the fist in truth and shove it down your throats

(Don't act like you don't know)

I'm on the broad path walkin the tightrope

[Chorus]

Sweep the leg!

If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg!

Then you don't stand for nothin

Sweep the leg!

Gonna suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg!

[Post-Chorus]

Mistakes and glories!

There in the ground where they were cut down

Mistakes and glories!

Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied

Mistakes and glories!

They answer the call and some heroes must fall

Mistakes and glories!

Giving all you can give when your dying to live

[Bridge]

You work for us, you work for us

You work for us, you work for us

You work for us, you work for us

You work for us, you work for us!

[Chorus]

Sweep the leg!

If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg!

Then you don't stand for nothin

Sweep the leg!

Gotta suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg!

[Post-Chorus]

Mistakes and glories!

There in the ground where they were cut down

Mistakes and glories!

Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied

Mistakes and glories!

They answer the call and some heroes must fall

Mistakes and glories!

Giving all you can give when your dying to live

Mistakes and glories!

There in the ground where they were cut down

Mistakes and glories!

Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied

Mistakes and glories!

They answer the call and some heroes must fall

Mistakes and glories!

Giving all you can give when your dying to live
