[Verse 1] Watchtowers rotting in the gray treeline Searchlights sweeping over frozen ground Turn off the radio, kill the headlights Don't take a breath, don't make a sound Told us the hunger was the price of peace Now every shadow is the state police [Pre-Chorus] Cut the fence, leave the keys on the floor Ain't nothing left of this life anymore Wire snaps in the dead of the dark Run till your lungs catch a brand-new spark [Chorus] Break the wall, tear the border down Leave the blood in the frozen ground They built a cage and they called it a crown Now we’re drowning out the siren flood No red flag gonna own my soul Leave the ashes where the river rolls I’d rather die than be a citizen slave [Verse 2] Rusted hinges on a shuttered gate Learn to swallow what they call your fate Spend a lifetime praying on your knees Bite the bullet, don't say please Call the poison an answered sign Chains rattle under broken skies [Pre-Chorus] Cut the fence, leave the keys on the floor Ain't nothing left of this life anymore Wire snaps in the dead of the dark Run till your lungs catch a brand-new spark [Chorus] Break the wall, tear the border down Leave the blood in the frozen ground They built a cage and they called it a crown Now we’re drowning out the siren flood No red flag gonna own my soul Leave the ashes where the river rolls I’d rather die than be a citizen slave [Bridge] (Heavy drop, chug groove) Count the scars. Forget the names. Walk right through their burning games. No more kneeling. No more gray. Tear the cage. Walk away. [Guitar Solo/Breakdown] [Chorus] Break the wall, tear the border down Leave the blood in the frozen ground They built a cage and they called it a crown Now we’re drowning out the siren flood No red flag gonna own my soul Leave the ashes where the river rolls I’d rather die than be a citizen slave [Outro] Keys on the floor. Through the dark. Gone. Citizen Slave Citizen Slave...
