This world is on fire, we're restless and we're tired

Is there someplace other than this, maybe somewhere higher?
Cm A# D# Gm
I don't hear no choir, all I see are liars
Cm A# D# Gm
Is there someplace other than this, maybe somewhere higher?
[Verse 1]
Cm A#
It's hard to make it in a world wasted
D# G#
All this hatred, I'm impatient
Cm A#
All these changes, different places
D# G#
Looking sacred, got the aces
Cm A#
Lot of faces, look what we're facing
D# G#
Across a nation, who can make it?
Cm A#
Yeah, we're racing, I can taste it
D# G#
Who can change it? It's the Matrix
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A# Cm
Everything has its turn
D# G#
After all we've learned
A# G
What is it we've earned
Just to watch it burn!

Cm A#
Empire's fallen, help is calling
D# G#
Though we all win, we keep crawling
Cm A#
There ain't no sin that we'll fall in
D# G#
It looks so dim, but we're all in
Cm A#
Through the cold wind, we can see in
D# G#
We ain't leaving what we believe in
Cm A#
If it's freezing, ain't no reason
D# G#
We're still breathing, sun is screaming
[Pre-Chorus]

What is it we've earned
Just to watch it burn!

[Verse 3]
Cm G#
Above the carnage, couldn't stop it
D# A#
Where we started, it was promised
Cm G#
All departed, almost lost it
D# A#
It restarted through the hardship
Cm G#
Was abolished but accomplished
D# A#
It was rotted, went the farthest
Cm G#
Earth demolished, wasn't gone yet
D# G
Not forgotten, forgive our sins
[Pre-Chorus]

Everything has its turn

After all we've learned

What is it we've earned
N.C.
Just to watch it burn!
