[Verse 1] I woke up with the sirens screaming, Red lights burning through the night, Another fuse about to blow, Another match about to strike. Everybody wants a reason, Everybody wants control, But I've seen what happens When you lock a wild thing in a hole. [Pre-Chorus] So turn it up! Let the speakers shake! If the world's gonna burn— Give me something I can take! [Chorus] THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! THANK GOD FOR THE FLAME! THANK GOD FOR THE THUNDER Running wild inside my veins! When everything is breaking, When nothing stays the same, I'll be standing in the wreckage With a smile upon my face! THANK GOD— THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! [Verse 2] They built their little kingdoms Out of fear and borrowed time, Put a fence around tomorrow And called the prison "peace of mind." But I don't need their answers, I don't need their holy plan, Give me one more broken highway And I'll find out who I am. [Pre-Chorus] So light it up! Let the old world fall! If there's no way through— Then we're going through the wall! [Chorus] THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! THANK GOD FOR THE FLAME! THANK GOD FOR THE THUNDER Running wild inside my veins! When everything is breaking, When nothing stays the same, I'll be standing in the wreckage With a smile upon my face! THANK GOD— THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! [Bridge — Half-Time] Maybe order's just a cage, Maybe fear's another chain, Maybe you don't find your freedom Till you've walked into the flame. I don't pray for easy answers, I don't pray for safer roads, I just pray that when it finds me I've got somewhere left to go! [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] LET IT FALL! LET IT BREAK! LET IT BURN! LET IT SHAKE! NO MORE WAITING! NO MORE FEAR! IF CHAOS IS COMING— LET IT COME HERE! [Final Chorus] THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! THANK GOD FOR THE FLAME! THANK GOD FOR THE THUNDER CALLING OUT MY NAME! When the walls come crashing down, When the sky becomes a grave— I'll be laughing at the madness 'Cause I never came to play! THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! THANK GOD FOR THE FIGHT! THANK GOD FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE! If tomorrow's gonna kill me, I'll go screaming into dawn— THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS! [Outro] Ohhhhhh... Thank God for the chaos! Let it roll! Let it roar! Let it shake these walls! THANK GOD FOR THE CHAOS!
