verse 2

I gave birth to a fire, It's like it's features where burning
I'm in control, I am the son of God
Somebody help me sing, Can anybody hear me?
Line up your soldiers one final time, We're gonna have a ball

Help me be captain of, Our crippled disguises

I won't show what's underneath, It's time for surprises

I can't climb up your ladder, I can't ride your horse
F#min                             E
I've swallowed half an hourglass, So now the landscape is swollen up
