Verse 1:
C#m
 Going down like a dead man walking
A          F#m
 One step from a body in a coffin
C#m                       A   F#m
 Just one, one of the fallen
C#m
 Waking up to a blood moon, howling
A               F#m
 Can't drown it out, even with the medicine
C#m                                          A   F#m
 Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline

Pre-Chorus:
C#m
 Arms heavy, face down on a death bed
A               F#m
 Blame the gods while choking on the violence
C#m                           A
 In the end, silence is deafening


Chorus:
                  C#m           A       F#m
Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
        C#m         A        F#m
In the night like thunder striking
     C#m
The sickness is rising
    A            F#m
The angels are crying
           N.C.                 C#m    A  F#m
That's the sound of a world on fire


Verse 2:
C#m
 Stressed out, head trauma, took a beating
A                  F#m
 Takes more than a pill to numb the feeling
C#m                                A   F#m
 Bang, bang, no mercy for the healing
  C#m
Oh, 20 dead without a fight, without a reason
A             F#m
 20 more in a cop car, bleeding
C#m                                A
 All tryna win a war without a meaning


Chorus:
                  C#m           A       F#m
