[F]  Hate to twist your [Dm]mind
[F]  but God ain't on your [Dm]side
[F]  An old acquaintance [Dm]severed
[F]burn the world your last endeavor!
[F]  Flesh is burning [Dm]you can
s[F]mell it in the air cause
[Dm]men like [F]you have such an
easy [Dm]soul to s[F]teal! (Steal!)
[F]  So stand in line while [Dm]they
ink [F]numbers in your head
you're [Dm]now a s[F]lave until
the end of [Dm]time here!
[F]Nothing stop the madness
turning haunting yearning

[F]victim of your own creation!
[F]  Beyond the will to [Dm]fight
[F]  where all that's wrong is [Dm]right
[F]  where hate don't need a [Dm]reason
[F]loathing self-assassination!
[F]  You've been lied to [Dm]just

[Dm]Down! (down!)
Feel the fire! (fire!)
Feel the hate! (hate!)
Your pain is what we desire!!
Lost! (lost!)
Hit the wall! (wall!)
Watch you crawl! (crawl!)
Such a replaceable liar!!

{section: Bridge}
[Bb]  And I know you hear their [C]voices
(calling from a[Bb]bove)
And I know they may seem [C]real
(these signals of [Bb]love)
But our life's made up of
[C]choices (some without ap[Bb]peal)
They took for [G/B]granted your [C]soul
         [A]/[C#]         [Dm]---
and it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life!!

(Repeat Chorus 2)
