A lesson in democracy, I will never, never be!

A servant of a moral standard, a rebel soul for the free!

I scream and I burn, I deny what I've learned!

Can't fight what's inside, on this blasphemous ride...

Here I stand!

Cause he will remain

Will remain the same...

He's apart of the game

And he will remain...

As I cry for more, the angels burn their core

Let the evil saints have their way

When I'm heading for oblivion!

Achieving my goals in every way

In malicious ways I hail the insane...

Nevertheless, my broken promises;

I scream and I burn, I deny what I've learned!

Can't fight what's inside, on this blasphemous ride...

Here I fall!

Cause he will remain

Will remain the same...

He's apart of the game

And he will remain...

Cause he will remain

(Now, take a look at the predator's portrait...)

Will remain the same...

(Cause these walls are closing in!)

He's apart of the game

(Now, take a look at the predator's portrait...)

And he will remain...

(Cause these walls come tumbling down!)

Come watch me bleed one more time!

No substitute left to find!

All that I hear is what I preach!

A mighty soul is what I keep!

I step on the face whose dragging me down

Fed up with the precious talk

Like a sinner revealing himself again

Now his down and out, and ready to strike!

Cause he will remain

Will remain the same...

He's apart of the game

And he will remain...

Cause he will remain

(Now, take a look at the predator's portrait...)

Will remain the same...

(Cause these walls are closing in!)

He's apart of the game

(Now, take a look at the predator's portrait...)

And he will remain...

(Cause these walls come tumbling down!)
