Like a city overthrown

We're turning buildings into stone

We leave the bodies to the crows

On a funeral of fire

Now we're choking on the fumes

Spread the lie and kill the truth

They're in the ashes of the proof

We watch the flames rise higher

Our empire

Now we're falling through the ice
F#m
We made our bed and rolled the dice
E
Well every gamble has a price
Bm
We watched the cracks grow wider
D
Waves are climbing past your knees
F#m
It's just the coming of the seas
E
It's getting harder now to breathe
Bm
We watched the tides rise higher
