Sitting in my ivory tower invincible to fall

Some would say my final hour as you scale the wall

Step inside I dare you all

And breathe the lies and heed the call

When this all is said and done

I will have my way

And you will take the blame

Under the gun I am the reason

Tooth of a crime

Under the spell of my silver tongue (Yeah)

And breathe my fire and heed my call

This alliance built on fear and rage

Fear spite lie to divide us

Hate strife bring decay
