We're back in time as [B] we wait for [E] the signal, [Ab] sharpened in place while [E] we wait on [Gb] the stun.
[Ab] These cold nights, [B] we're almost [Gb]
unbearable.
The purpose keeps [Ab] us warm, let the legions [B] walk crossing our fingers, [Ab] a bark with no
bite, [E] no teeth, [Ab] just a roar.
You're not a boar, and [B] I'm not a tiger, splinter.
[Gb] We are [Ab] ready [B] but we're [Db] bored, [Ab] just holding [Gb] our place [B] in line.
[Gb] Everything moves [B] too slow now, [Ab] breaking [E] apart [Gb] in time.
We [Abm] have the power, [Ab]
we have the [Ab] numbers now, it's all just [E] a constant illusion of [B] control.
[Db] [Eb] They break [Abm] us like horses, how long will we take [Ab] their plow?
What will [E]
continue to be is [B] what [Db] we allow.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Abm]
And so we worship an altar so empty, consumption of something we don't [B] need at all.
[Abm] Hope we can't fill a [B] never-ending song.
Again from the [Ab] top now.
Desperate cases, [B] we all pick a [Ab] profile.
Mass surveillance, [E] we open [Gb] the door.
[Ab] Real affairs, [B] blurred lines of bright [Gb] and wrong.
Smear it up so we [E] can't slow down [Abm] at [Gb] this [E] velocity.
[B] One wrong [Gb] move and [E] we go [Abm] down, race for the [Gb] record name.
We [Abm] have the power, [Ab]
we have the numbers now, it's all just [E] a constant illusion of [B] control.
[Db] [Eb] They break us [Ab] like horses, [Abm] how long will we take their plow?
What will [E]
continue to be [B] is what we [Db] allow.
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Abm] Heavy [Ab] are the chains [Abm] we fasten to [E] ourselves.
Gathering [B] the bonds, [Gb] shaping to [Ab] a crown.
Is the saddle comfortable?
Do these reins [Abm] feel tight [E] enough?
Will you gallop when you're [B] kicked?
[Gb] Or throw the [Ab] rider off?
Are [Abm] you willing and able?
Are you spoken [E] for, tested, served, or trebled?
Until it [Ab] all gives out, listen, [Abm]
fuck what you [Ab] call normal.
This pressure to [E] conform, it's your trail to [Gb] blaze.
Or your bridge [Db] to burn.
[Eb] [E]
[Gb] Your bridge [Db] to burn.
[Eb] [E]
[Bbm] [Ab]
Yes, [Abm] we have the [Ab] power, we [Abm] have the numbers [Ab] now, it's all just [E] a constant illusion of [B]
control.
[Db] [Eb] They break us [Abm] like horses, [Ab] how long will we take their plow?
What [E] will continue to be is [B] what we allow.
[Eb]
Will [Abm] we allow?
