[Verse]
The Flion and the wolf
Old Agods and the Dsus2new
CBattle of the bastards
GTrying to break Dthrough
A Fback and forth pendulum
We Acan't seem to Dsus2stop
CTicking like a metronome
GCan't kill the Dclock
FSomedays I feel like we're just Asymptoms of our system
FBlack hole Ano hope
FPsycho Asyndrome
[Chorus]
GHey!
FFeels like we're caged Cmanimals
AmLooking for the Eantidote
BTo break the chains they Gput us Ein
FYeah you can call it Cmcynical
AmMaybe I'm just Emiserable
BBut there's no way I'm Ggiving Ein
To their Amlies I'm gonna Emfight
And put it Gall on the line toAmnight
So light the Fgas with some Cmmatches
Let's burn the old Aempire into Eashes
[Post-Chorus]
AmWoah, Emwoah
AmWoah, Emwoah
Let's burn it Aall into Eashes
[Verse]
FThe young man dreams while he Asleeps in his Dsus2bed
CDeath keeps an eye while he's Gwaiting for the Ddead
