Well you held me here for days in this Godless place
Where no sun will ever come around
And your stone cold walls they won't leak my calls
No window will show how you got me down
I played my kings high to your straight queens
And now I'm down, beat, broken and lost

So it is on, yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown

And you picked my scars with your stone cold heart
Kept my mind astray in your endless halls
But I can sharpen my teeth on these metal bars
I can harden my fists on your walls

So it is on, yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown
I've been begging and screaming for mercy that never comes
Or an angel to heed my calls
But no more soul searching and endless yearnings - no more

Now the sleeves are rolled up and bricks will be laid
I'll pave your descent out of the sweat of my two hands
I build this machine out of blood and nails
And it will be your growing nightmare one day

Those who tried to be righteous men
Their names are now written in the sand
But every fiber in my body won't turn to its grave
As one of the forgotten, cursed and damned

So it is on, yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown
I've been begging and screaming for mercy that never comes
Or an angel to heed my calls
But no more soul searching and endless yearnings - no more
