[Verse 1]
C#m
Going down like a dead man walking
A F#m
One step from a body in a coffin
C#m A F#m
Just one, one of the fallen
C#m
Waking up to a blood moon, howling
A F#m
Can't drown it out, even with the medicine
C#m A F#m
Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
Arms heavy, face down on a death bed
A F#m
Blame the gods while choking on the violence
C#m A
In the end, silence is deafening
[Chorus]
C#m A F#m
Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
C#m A F#m
In the night like thunder striking
C#m
The sickness is rising
A F#m
The angels are crying
N.C. C#m A F#m
That's the sound of a world on fire
[Verse 2]
C#m
Stressed out, head trauma, took a beating
A F#m
Takes more than a pill to numb the feeling
C#m A F#m
Bang, bang, no mercy for the healing
C#m
Oh, 20 dead without a fight, without a reason
A F#m
20 more in a cop car, bleeding
C#m A
All tryna win a war without a meaning
[Chorus]
