There are things that we lost when we got what we wanted
The light costs
And the shadows are haunting me
When we built up the walls
We were building a prison
The wars won are the bars that are holding us in

Look at our empire now
We built it from the ground
I'm gonna burn it down
Look at our empire now
We built it from the ground
I'm gonna burn it down

Waging war cause I want peace
Making chains to make me free
All this screaming in my head
I'll be free or I'll be dead
