[Verse 1]
You stand up pridefully in front of thousands
Screaming words of justice and truth
You wear a mask of this city's hero
You are the pretender
You fake, you fake, but fortunate
You wear a mask of this city's hero
You fake, you fake, but fortunate
You are the pretender
[Chorus 1]
Your weak speech lines your gums with gold teeth
Yet you don't believe in a word that you say
You're speaking shackles to life
Self-righteousness is your demise
[Verse 2]
You coward
Draw a line in the sand
You bastard
Look at what you have become
Your breath, it reeks of perversion
Your tongue is just like a whore
Full of vulgarity, full of the disease
[Chorus 2]
Where is the life in the life you live?
You are the poor millionaire
Where is the life in the life you live?
A lifeless empire, a lifeless heir
[Post-Chorus]
Your crown is like a lion's mouth devouring you from the inside out
Turn away before there's nothing left
It's life or death
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Tyrant
Ring the bells of repentance
Awakening from your deathbed
Tyrant
Ring the bells of repentance
Awaken from your deathbed
Oh, tyrant (Oh, tyrant)
[Verse 3]
You stand up pridefully in front of thousands
Screaming words of justice and truth
You wear a mask of this city's hero
You are the pretender
[Outro]
Coward, coward
Where is the life in the life you live?
Where is the life in the life you live?
Life you live (Live, live, live)
