Strum
D-DU-UDU
We're  gonna burn your city
We're  gonna bring  your system down
I'm  gonna drown my pity
Turn  this to a ghost  town
And  when you know there's nothing left
 You're gonna run  like all the rest
 Pack your bags and turn your back  on all the friends  you had left
 PRE CHORUS
And  it's time for us to live,  yeah
It's  my time, this  is just a declaration of  our vows
(whoa)  We won't back down
It's  my time, this  is just your resignation from  our lives
(whoa)  We won't back down
 same as Verse 1)
We're  gonna drown your ego
You're  the legend  no one knows,

So  now I drown my pity
 In a pool  of sorrow and shame
 Until the day I forget your name  (day I forget  your name)

And  you gotta let me live,  yeah
