When I was a y

To see a march

 up
            
Would you be t

            
he savior of t

       
he broken
            
The beaten and

            
 the damned?
             
He said, "Will

em
            
Your demons an

            
d all the non-

The plans that

Because one da

A phantom to l

[Verse]
             
Sometimes I ge

       
t the feeling
            
She's watching

       
 over me
             
And other time

             
s I feel like 

          
I should go
             
And through it

              
 all, the rise


 and fall
            
The bodies in 

       
the streets
             
And when you'r

             
e gone we want

The anthem won

[Verse]
             
A world that s

         
ends you reeli

From decimated

Your misery an

So paint it bl

Let's shout it
