Will of the People

(The will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)

Let's push the emperors into the ocean
(The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the)
Don't need a gun to flirt with devotion
(The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the)
With every hour our number increases
(The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the)
We'll smash your institutions to pieces
(The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the)

We need a transformation
One we all can see
We need a revolution
So long as we stay free

(The will of the will of the)

Welcome to the desecration, baby
We'll build you right up and we'll tear you down
Welcome to the celebration, baby
The chances are turning, this future is ours

Free your sons and unlock your daughters
We'll throw the baby out with the bathwater
With every second our anger increases
We're gonna smash a nation to pieces
(The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the)

We need a transmutation
One we all can see
We need a revolution
So long as we stay free

(The will of the will of the)

Welcome to the desecration, baby
We'll build you right up and we'll tear you down
Welcome to the celebration, baby
The chances are turning, this future is ours

(The will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the sheeple)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)
(Will of the people)
(The will of the people)
(The will of the will of the)

(The will of the will of the)

Welcome to the desecration, baby
We'll build you right up and we'll tear you down
(The will of the will of the)
Welcome to the celebration, baby
The chances are turning, the future is ours
(The will of the will of the)

Compliance

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
Just give us your compliance
We won't let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance

Fall into line, you will do as you're told
No choice fatigue, your blood is running cold
We lose control, the world will fall apart
Love of your life will mend your broken heart
Life lived in fear, you need protection
You're all alone, too much rejection
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you (we can save you)
We just need your

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
No more defiance
Just give us your compliance

Cover your tracks, we know what's best for you
You've bitten off much more than you can chew
You're running scared, you'll run into our arms
Come join our clique, we'll keep you safe from harm
Our toy soldier, you'll do the dirty work
Stay loyal to us, we'll take away the hurt
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you (we can save you)
Just give us your

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
No more defiance
Just give us your compliance

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(We can save you, can save you)

Compliance

You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
We just need your compliance
We won't let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance

Oh, fear is controlling you
It's time to give it up
And give in to us (we can save you, can save you)
Give us your compliance

Liberation

Silenced
You'll make us feel silenced
You stole the airwaves, but the air belongs to us
And violence, you'll make us turn to violence
You've left us choice less
Our backs against the wall no more, and

We have plans to take you down (down, down)
We intend to erase your place in history
Soon (soon) you'll be left with nothing
So I guess we should thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
We've had enough
We thank you for playing your part in our liberation

And losing, the world can see you're losing
You'll send the army to trample on our prayers
And silenced, we'll be no longer silenced
You'll hear our voices
They'll rise even though we're under siege, and

We have plans to take you down (forced abdication)
We intend to erase your place in history (regime revocation)
And soon (soon) you'll be left with nothing
So I guess we should thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
We've had enough
Thank you for playing your part in our liberation, liberation
Liberation (ah)
(Ah, ah ooh, ah) (ah)
Liberation

Won't Stand Down

I never believed that I would concede and let someone trample on me
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but you were just gaslighting me
I've opened my eyes, and counted the lies, and now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, living vicariously

I never believed that I would concede and get myself blown asunder
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but now you have pushed me under
I've opened my eyes, and counted the lies and now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, and I refuse to take it

Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long, now die alone

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack, I'm playing you at your own game
I'm cutting you out, a shadow of doubt
Is gonna hang over your name
I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I'll shoot you before you take aim

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack
A psychological war
I'm cutting you in, I'm under your skin
Now I'm gonna settle the score
I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I'll shoot you before you take aim

Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long, now die alone

Won't stand down
Breaking out
Won't stop now

Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long, now die alone

I won't stand down
I won't stand down

Ghosts (How Can I Move On)

I've tried a million times
To get over it
But something deep inside
Just keeps holding it
So I'll just hold on
To memories of when we were happy
Just you and me
There was nothing in this world
That I could ever need
No I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
I will always remember
How you promised forever
No I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
So before I go
I want you to know
You'll be with me forever
I can't let go
I can't let go
Maybe you were never meant to be mine
But if that were true
Shouldn't I be fine?
Yeah I thought I was done
But I still got the pain
Yeah I'll fall in love
But it won't be the same
Every where I go
I swear that I still see your face
No I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
I will always remember
How you promised forever
No I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
So before I go
I want you to know
You'll be with me forever
I can feel my heart
Breaking through my chest
Memories they play inside my head
Like a movie where
We never got to see how it ends
All the things we could've been
But never were
I'm tryna heal
But it's only getting worse
And I'm scared
I'll never feel this way again
No I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
I will always remember
How you promised forever
I can't let you go
I'll hold you or your ghost
So before I go
I want you to know
You'll be with me forever
I can't let go
I can't let go

You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween

(I love you)
(I love you)

You got me checking my mirror
You make me feel like I'm on the run
Where'd you hide the gun?
The kitchen knife in your hand
Are you the poison, are you the cure?
I'm not so sure

I'm shackled, there is no way out
I can't escape

When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)

You cut me off from my friends
You cut me off from my family
I'm in misery (I'm your number one fan)
Each day I fall to my knees
I see the writing on the wall
Now I'm in withdrawal

I'm shackled, there is no way out (there's is nothing I can do to escape)
I can't escape

When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
The way you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)

Ah

When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)

I see your eye in the keyhole
I feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
Won't rest until I'm possessed
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)

(But you are the caretaker)

Kill or Be Killed

(Kill or be killed)

Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolves
And demons have materialized in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control

And we've tried, oh, we've tried so hard to be good
But the world rewards us when we're bad

Fate
Is driving me insane
It's forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)

They've driven a stake right through my heart
I'm growing so cold and detached

And I've tried, oh, I've tried so hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control

Fate
Has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed

Ah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Either kill or be killed

Fate
Is driving me insane
Is forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be)

Verona

Can we kiss
With poison on our lips
Well I'm not scared

Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss
They can't stop us now, I won't let you be alone
I am coming for you
Keep us apart, it's too much to ask

We're running away
Take off your clothes and take off your mask
It's not over now, I won't leave you in the dark
Because I need you so

Can we kiss, contagion on our lips
Well I don't care
We can touch and feel forbidden bliss
They can't stop us now, I won't let you feel alone
Because I need you so

You and me
Throw caution to the wind
And I will risk everything just to feel the warmth
And the voltage from your skin
If this is my last day on Earth, I just want to be with you
You are all that's true

We will kiss, with poison on our lips
Well I'm not scared
We will touch and reach forbidden bliss
They can't stop us now, I won't let you die alone
Because I love you so

Euphoria

Shut down
We are growing spiritless
If no one cares, then who is gonna save us?
Give us euphoria
Worn out
Everything will fall apart
So shine a light and warm up this heavy heart
Give us euphoria

Brooding
I need renewing
I want satisfaction
A gut reaction

Give us euphoria
Give us euphoria
It's been all work and no play
Give us euphoria
Give us euphoria
I need to numb all the pain

Wake up
We're becoming restless
Our last hope and only you can save us
Give us euphoria
Sealed off
We are running out of air
So start a fire and spice up this love affair
Give us euphoria

Brooding
I need renewing
I need satisfaction
A gut reaction

Give us euphoria
Give us euphoria
It's been all work and no play
Give us euphoria
Give us euphoria
I need to numb all the pain

Euphoria
Give us euphoria
It's been all work no play
Give me euphoria
I need euphoria
I need to numb all the pain

We're F*cking F*cked

(We play together)

You really believe
We can survive all of this
The black vacuum of the universe
It was designed
To swallow us whole
It's a losing game

We're at death's door
Another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis
A deadly virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna find us

Ah
We are f*cking f*cked
Ah
We are f*cking f*cked

We're at death's door
Another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis
Mutated virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us

Ah
We are f*cking f*cked
Ah
We are f*cking f*cked

True
Just when you think
You are safe and secure
You'll forget what you need to remember
Living in peace
But you're living a lie
The game is rigged

We're at death's door
Another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis
A deadly virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us

Ah
We are f*cking f*cked
Ah
We are f*cking f*cked

Hole up
Stockpile
Hoard up
We are getting f*cking f*cked

Ah
We are getting f*cked
Ah
We are getting f*cked

Hey, hey, hey, f*ck off
Hey, hey, hey, stockpile
Hey, hey, hey, f*ck off
Hey, hey, we are getting f*cking f*cked
