Behold your empire of ritual disdain With you the martyr king Crying out for the advent of change While clutching so tight to your invisible chains
You keep your mouth shut for fear of judgement As soon as backs are turned you abandon your silence You're a hypocrite and liar, but you know this too well
[Chorus:] We are unified in chains That hold us to the ground Content to blend with the crowd Mediocrity resounds
Behold, the signs of a fractured mind Now push it 'til it breaks So fucking used to denying yourself You know it must end, but you do it so well
I hold your world in the palm of my hand I'll squeeze the life right out of you...
[Chorus]
We are unified in chains That hold us to the ground Content to blend with the crowd Identity unfound
[Solo: Ellis]
You say that we are unified I say that we have lost control
I refuse to accept that this is my only solution A broken machine that no one even tries to fix anymore I am sick of pretending that this is the only way for me This is not who I am meant to be... It's meant to be
[Solo: Ellis] [Solo: McMorran]
[Chorus]
A time will come when this will be undone As all you thought you knew turns out was never true And all that we are returns to the start But I'll welcome in the end to begin and grow again
