To see a march

         
ing band
             
He said, "Son,

 up
            
Would you be 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

To join the Bl

[Verse 1]

             
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

              
 you all to kn


ow


[Chorus]

And in my hear

The anthem won

[Verse 2]

             
A world that s

          
ends you reeli

ng
             
From decimated

     
 dreams
             
Your misery an

So paint it bl

t back
             
Let's shout it

Defiant to the
