[Instrumental]

On endless floors
And corridors
Weak but not broken

And through the rust
It's hunting us
The last breath is spoken

You'll never stop me, stop me
I'll bring an army with me
It's never over, over
And it's not over til we say so

It keeps us here
And knows our fear
A kindred divider

So stand up to
The path we knew
We'll scream through the wires

You'll never stop me, stop me
I'll bring an army with me
It's never over, over
And it's not over til we say so

I am the beast
I am the earth
I am the blood that fills the sky

I am the feast
of famine thirst
And every will to justify

It's every day
and every night

My own war
To take it head on

With every wrong
And every right

Back for more
It's armageddon

Armageddon
Come, come and get it

Armageddon, baby

Armageddon
Come, come and get it

I am the flesh
I am the flame
A temple to carnality

We are enmeshed
Sacred, profane
Reflected through brutality

It's every day
and every night

My own war
To take it head on

With every wrong
And every right

Back for more
It's armageddon

Armageddon
Come, come and get it

Armageddon, baby

Armageddon
Come, come and get it

Shame
Wear the pity and the blame
Basking in the glow
A lovely crown of thorns

Cliche
Overdramatic display
An unwelcome show
Of steady undertow

You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames
Self-inflicted pretty little martyr
If forcing empathy
Is as clever as you can be
We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames
Burn baby burn

Vain
You're the Abel and the Cain
No coincidence
You crave an audience

Stray
Committed to the decay
Fake mercy pose
And on and on it goes

You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames
Self-inflicted pretty little martyr
If forcing empathy
Is as clever as you can be
We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames
Burn baby burn

Lost
In the time
In the way
Gone but not forgotten

New
Secret crimes
To repay
Now the walls have fallen

And so it's now or never

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'll cut the ties that hold me down

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'll be the enemy

Caught
Quicksand grip
Pull me in
Whisper faith in sickness

Soon
Kill the myth
I'll begin
Be the first to witness

And so it's now or never

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'll cut the ties that hold me down

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'll be the enemy

Seven million strung out on ambition
Sea of relay high rise in remission

All with a hope and a plan to make it out
Give up the ghost when they try to push it down

Now

Ready, Aim, Fire

Die a thousand deaths in hesitation
Far beyond the spark of inspiration

Close to the soul and away from all the doubt
Live what is known when you hear the softest sound

Say

Ready, Aim, Fire

They tell you that
You're staying here
In white walled observation

It's terminal
Or so they fear
Well-meaning resignation


Whenever you feel that the world is a lie
A cruel and merciless hope homicide
You gotta fight it with everything you have inside

You are a rockstar
A superhero
Get up, get up
And show 'em what you're made of

You know what you are
So let the fear go
Get up, get up
And show 'em what you're made of

Adversity
A souvenir
To spark your transformation

Tenacity
Is growing near
And here's the inspiration

Whenever you feel that the world is a lie
A cruel and merciless hope homicide
You gotta fight it with everything you have inside

You are a rockstar
A superhero
Get up, get up
And show 'em what you're made of

You know what you are
So let the fear go
Get up, get up
And show 'em what you're made of

You've bought all the happiness
But you still want more

Parade all that you possess
Though there's no one keeping score

Dreaming of vertigo
From the highest fame

Feeling the undertow
When it starts to break

Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always

A cage of the tangible
All you had to own

You poor social cannibal
What's left when you lose the throne

We're of the same affair
Pride before the fall

We'll see what's truly there
When it takes us all

Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always

We'll put your picture on a magazine
Gotta get your face on a video screen

We'll make you famous if you're helping us out
Boost the ratings with the panic route

That's the way
That's the way
You gotta
Give 'em all a show

Get your gun, get your gun baby
And shoot it up, shoot it up

We'll help you pull the trigger
We'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and
We'll help you make 'em pay

We'll help you pull the trigger
We'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and
We'll help you make 'em pay


It doesn't matter if you disagree
We're making it hand over fist on tragedy

The revolution will be televised
But just the part that we can monetize

That's the way
That's the way
You gotta
Give 'em all a show


Get your gun, get your gun baby
And shoot it up, shoot it up


We'll help you pull the trigger
We'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and
We'll help you make 'em pay

We'll help you pull the trigger
We'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and
We'll help you make 'em pay

Get what you give
I always say
Be careful who you trust

A friendly shiv
A sad cliche
The disingenuous

If what you see
Is what you get
You show a second face

It's treachery
In silhouette
So here's the coup de grace

You'll get what's coming to you
You'll get what's coming

The quest for fame
Does not impress
If that's the model trait

A petty game
To dispossess
Who you manipulate

The veil is thin
And minimal
The key to your success

The plan to win
Political
It's who you suck the best

You'll get what's coming to you
You'll get what's coming

Forcing of the hand
A whisper in the ear
Spirit of enabling

Sinister command
Of what I want to hear
I'm the only one who pulls my strings


I'm the devil
Living in the pride

I'm the devil
No one's hands are tied

I'm the devil
Damnation dignified

I'm the devil
And it's only me inside


Why would you pretend
Your will is not your own
Claiming something pushed you there

Don't mean to condescend
But it's you and you alone
You're the architect of your despair

And I'm the devil
Living in the pride

I'm the devil
No one's hands are tied

I'm the devil
Damnation dignified

I'm the devil
And it's only me inside

I said
"Lord, lord, lord"
It's a long dark road

And my tongue's a sword
When speaking gold


In my deep down soul
I am flies and blood

And it's black as coal
In this heart of mud


And they say,
"You got a demon"


And I'm home sweet home
Like a herd of swine

And the seeds I've sewn
Well they're mine all mine

They're down so low
In floorboard rest

There's a great big hole
Straight through my chest

And they say,
"You got a demon"
