So light the fires/Watch every palace burn
You exalt the liars/Crawling behind in dirt
So light the fires/empires crumbling
Open wounds for hire/in the end it means nothing
We hold the match that you always try to drown’
You hold the papers but you can’t always hold us down
Which side is inside out you can only drain us for so long/always trying to find a way out but your influence is strong/Always bleeding the people, each side of the aisle like an empty drain/one side holds the steeple while the other side holds a name/Dragging us around like a beaten dog eventually the leash will break/Only takes a little bit more to see how much we can take
