A letra:
Let’s hear it for the Damaged/Who understands but the Broken?
Developed in the arms of spite
I’m all fucked up and I make it look good/Adrenalin Sight tonight
I’m overthrown… I’m over your Throne… I’m over it
SICK-SICKENED-SICKENING-I’M STRICKEN BY THE FIST
BLESSED ARE THE FIRES THAT HAVE BURNED ME
LISTEN TO THIS-THE LESSON IS-NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE AGONY
…DEATH OF THE FOOL… BIRTH OF THE CRUEL…
Remember how you spent the best part of forever in a state of pure disease
It was another thing altogether to forget that you brought out the worst in me
Hey Karma, you don’t feel like I do… you just wish you’d hate like I do
We are the Bitter/The Maladjusted and Wise/Fighting off a Generation too uptight
We’re all dressed up with nobody to kill- The Rhetoric Stops Tonight
I’m overthrown… I’m over your Throne… I’m over it
SICK-SICKENED-SICKENING-I’M STRICKEN BY THE FIST
BLESSED ARE THE FIRES THAT HAVE BURNED ME
LISTEN TO THIS-THE LESSON IS-NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE AGONY
…DEATH OF THE FOOL… BIRTH OF THE CRUEL…
Now’s not the time for denying- shifting the focus to scare
Let’s not forget we’re all guilty
All three dimensions polluted by earnest despair-
I’m overthrown… I’m over your Throne… I’m over it
