Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Em D
Save your life while keeping whispers unsaid

Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Am C Am G
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Am C Am G
Bringing daylight to the night
Bm D Bm A
Death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
They've come to take all your rights
