Linkin Park - A Line In The Sand Lyrics






[Mike Shinoda:]
Today
We stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
Today
I looked for a sign
With flames in my hands
A line in the sand
Between yours and mine
And it came
Like fire from below
Your greed led the call
My flag had to fall
But little did you know

[Chester Bennington:]
Another day
Your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
And face your crime
You'll tell them give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

[Mike Shinoda:]
I had never been a coward
I had never seen blood
You had sold me an ocean
And I was lost in the flood
We were counting on a leader
We were driven by need
But couldn't take temptation
And we were blinded by greed
You were steady as a sniper
We were waiting on a wire
So we never saw it coming
When you ran from the fire
You can try intimidation
And you can try to ignore
But when the time comes calling, yeah
You are gonna get yours

[Chester Bennington:]
Another day
Your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
And face your crime
You'll tell them give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

And so today
Your truth has come
You're gonna pay for what you've—
Pay for what you've done
You'll get what's yours
You're out of time
And you will give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine

Give me
Give me back what's mine
Give me
Give me back what's mine
What's mine
Give me
Give me back what's mine
What's mine
What's mine
Give me back what's mine

[Mike Shinoda:]
Today we stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know

  49. M.... ....

    A manager from undisclosed fortune 500 company disqualified me from my new position that I slaved 3 years to earn potentially lifting me from my financial debt. I toiled 21 days of the qualification period enduring overtime, heat, over 70+ packages and several supervisors that hated my guts. Why? because I held them accountable for their blatant and obvious mistakes. I was labeled a "trouble maker." I filed a grievance 3 months ago with a local union. Of course, I got the runaround and case buried. The reason of the disqualification I'll save the nonsense since we have discovered it's all meaningless. Payrate and hours halved? Check. Waking up at god awful 330 for a 4am job? check. Damaged reputation? check. Welcome back to the hellhole you just took 3 years to climb out of we missed you!


    The truth was revealed, I'm dealing with fucking children. I got a phone call from HR today. I will have my job restored and a pay bump since another recently promoted manager remembers who I was. Nothing like bailing out a good friend, they ALWAYS come through.


    Now we high af. blasting this song till the neighbors beat on my door to turn it down. Ty for those lyrics this song has an entirely new meaning. Miss u Chester.

  50. A.... T....

    🔥🔥🔥

  51. P.... ....

    This song is so beautiful that it moves me to tears

  52. g.... l....

    The chorus makes me think of spongebob singing

  53. Z.... ....

    Linkin Park is literally the scientist of music, they're experimenting on a wide range of genres and making them theirs by "LINKIN" them. A true musical inventor.

  54. O.... P....

    1:18 sounded like 'victimized' a bit..

  55. P.... N....

    Ughhhh fucking love this album. I miss Linking Park so much man.

  56. B.... T....

    One of the best lp tracks

  57. B.... ....

    YouTube fucked up sound quality, original mp3 sounds better.

    B.... ....

    I think it's actually on the uploader's side, there are decent-sounding versions of this song on YT

    B.... ....

    @Die Legende Yeah, there must be some problem while uploading them, same poor quality for officialy uploaded "mark the graves".

  58. A.... G....

    So fucking good

  59. K.... ....

    this is the best linkin park song EVER, pure it

    K.... ....

    Idk about that one but it is great

  60. J.... P....

    Obrigado Linkin Park,vocês serão lembrado por gerações futuras.

  61. S.... O....

    Military motivation 101

  62. D.... P....

    Alguem em 2019 ?

    D.... P....

    Aqui🇧🇷

  63. W.... a....

    1. In the end
    2. Final masquerade
    3. Lost in the Echo

    4. One more light
    5. Across the line
    6. Numb
    7. Given up
    8. A place for my head
    9. Faint
    10. One step closer
    11. Papercut
    12. Burn it down
    13. Burning in the skies
    14. Lies greed misery

    14 years...of fear, pain, lost, hate, depression and.... Linkin Park.
    I had nothing but music.
    The only reason why I was still alive in 2016 & 2017.
    Then Chester passed away,
    and my last reason to stay alive passed with him.
    I didn't want to be here anymore.
    I was very weak...
    2018 was the worst year in my entire life.
    I hurted myself (Hitting my arm, cutting myself with a knife).
    I attempted suicide,
    more than ten times.
    I cried every day,
    every night.
    Every time I listened to one more light,
    I was f*cking crying and screaming.
    Then 2019 came,
    and the change came...
    Life got better, so much better....
    So I FORGOT the day I intended to commit suicide.
    (btw. It was the 20th March, I'm sure you know why)
    Next day it came back to my mind and I just cried...
    With JOY.
    I stopped listening to one more light because it always made me cry and that would remind me of the last 13 years.. The other songs really helped me to get out of my depression (of course not completely...) and I got more happy.
    The last 4 years I always had to fake my smile. I was acting all day.
    Now I'm here and on Monday I'll be 14 years old. The other birthdays didn't mean much to me but this one is special...
    On Monday I won't celebrate that I'm 14 years old like ,, yeah I'm cool, I'm older than you"
    No!
    I'll celebrate that I'm still alive after 2016-2018.
    I'll celebrate that I tried so hard AND got so far.

    You guys changed my life.
    Thank you Linkin Park.
    Thank you Chester.
    ~💖~

    W.... a....

    I'm glad you're alright❤️

  64. A.... ....

    Theoretical Linkin Park detractor: Linkin Park isn’t metal.

    Linkin Park:

  65. A.... G....

    my biggest regret is never seeing them live. I remember saving up for the Hollywood bowl concert. I remember the day so clearly. I was on xbox listening to spotify recovering from my Spine surgery. Some song from Hybrid theory came up but I wasn't feeling it that day and skipped to another song since I've heard that song so much, not long after my friend texts me the news and she was extremely upset and I was in disbelief. It hit my little brother harder since he broke down crying really hard, worse than me

  66. A.... S....

    RIP
    CHESTER BENNIGTON😭❤

  67. M.... K....

    Not good audio, but really good song! Love it!

  68. A.... A....

    2019 <3 ?

  69. J.... A....

    the quality of the youtube version sucks in comparaison with the album version

  70. R.... ....

    Underrated song. Underrated album. IMO this is Linkin Park's finest hour, and this song is a huge tribute to metal music. I can't fault any song on this album.

  71. l.... ....

    It's May 17th 2019. I miss you so much, Chester. I am still mourning over your death. I regret spending my money on other things instead of going to a show. I still have my torn up Linkin Park hoodie, and I will keep it for the rest of my life. I'm gonna buy a new one soon as well. My dad used to play Linkin Park while my mom was pregnant with me in 2002. Linkin Park was my entire childhood. I've lost my dad now, but I am so glad Linkin Park was a part of my childhood. I love and miss you.


    -Joshua

  72. K.... ....

    I always thought the beginning instruments sounded like Victimized

  73. s.... p....

    Well no one can scream like chester 😉

  74. A.... W....

    Idk if it's just me but the sound of the hi hats goes really weird at points, like at 1:28. The version I have on iTunes sounds fine so it might be something to do with the YouTube compression.

    A.... W....

    Alex Wales oh this versions Sound is all messed up for some reason. The album and other uploads here on YouTube sound much better

  75. T.... B....

    Idk why the reception of this album was not as high as the others. It’s one of the best if you ask me

  76. A.... J....

    Basicamente la version larga de victimized

  77. C.... S....

    I sometimes feel like I'm in quicksand but listening too Linkin Park songs help RIP Chester

  78. �.... �....

    1:13 !!!!

  79. P.... A....

    "Victimized" and "Guilty all the same" intro everyone?

  80. A.... ....

    Its happy to see people appreciating these epic underrated songs of linkin park
    Only true linkin park will be here

    A.... ....

    I am a true lp fan but please stop begging for likes

  81. A.... ....

    The last great song

  82. F.... o....

    4m wtf?

  83. S.... P....

    'A line In the sand' and ' Mark the graves' are GOLD!!!
    They never get old!!
    Fuckin love LINKIN PARK!!
    HOPE THEY CONTINUE❤️

  84. I.... G....

    Vim pelo o ideias radicais

  85. E.... E....

    really i don´t know why people this song isn´t in the list of the best of Linkin Park y Google. why people don´t like this?...

  86. �.... �....

    Great album....

  87. A.... ....

    Mike's voice: perfect
    Chester's screams:perfect
    Brad's riff:perfect
    Rob's drums:perfect
    Phoenix's bass: I know nobody listen to it but is perfect
    So, kindly
    LISTEN THE FUCKING SONG AND LEAVE A LIKE BECAUSE IT'S A PERFECT SONG!

  88. B.... C....

    I’m so stupid for hating on this album smh

  89. P.... S....

    Holy balls of taco god this song has some power in it thank you from the bottom of my sick decaying heart .. from tears of pain comes peace of mind

  90. S.... G....

    I believe the whole album was a masterpiece. No less than hybrid theory or meteora.

    S.... G....

    better than ht

  91. T.... ....

    this and victimized sound SO similar

  92. F.... ....

    This song is awesome to listen when u exercise. U get boost energy just from it & the awesome drums!

  93. S.... V....

    i very love this song

  94. T.... M....

    I would love to hear this song mashed up with Guilty All The Same since this song is a reprisal of that song. That is what makes this album so brilliant and my favorite LP album - the common “theme,” that reprised riff that carries itself throughout. This album wasn’t given enough credit. It takes multiple listens to understand it. It is their rawest, deepest and most technically impressive album. I have liked LP from the beginning, but they’ve never been technically strong musicians. I love that they challenged themselves on this album and rose to the challenge.

  95. A.... T....

    I Am The New Vocalist Of Linkin Park

  96. A.... R....

    Has a vibe similar to "Victimized" near the beginning

  97. R.... v....

    Today, this song reminds of terrible tragedy going on in Venezuela.

  98. N.... ....

    *1:35**-**1:37* _This part remind me_ *Rebellion*

  99. w.... K....

    such an underestimated song.
