[Intro]

I am the sledgehammer messiah

Waiting for sins to be born

And if you stop for a moment

You can hear the machines

Are playing your song

There's nowhere to run

And there's nowhere to speak

I'm gaining, you're falling into me


[Verse 1]

Tell me, piece of shit

How does it feel

To be down here with me?

Living, living

Dreaming, dreaming

Drowning, drowning


[Pre-Chorus]

Chainheart machine

By cosmic retribution

I've been sent


[Chorus]

'Cause I'll rise! (I'll rise!)

You'll fall! (You'll fall!)

Roll the dice! (Roll the dice!)

My call! (My call!)


[Verse 2]

Tick tock, time to die

No use reaching as time goes by

Self-absorbed egotistical fuck!

I'm reigning your life!


[Pre-Chorus]

Chainheart machine

By cosmic retribution

I've been sent


[Chorus]

'Cause I'll rise! (I'll rise!)

You'll fall! (You'll fall!)

Roll the dice! (Roll the dice!)

My call! (My call!)


[Bridge]

Preaching for the sun

They say there

They say there is a sun

So I'm preaching

I'm preaching for the sun

They say there

They say there is a sun


[Verse 3]

My body is chained to

The ground where I walk

They stalk, they hunt

My every thought with

Execution, evolution

Disillusion, pre-conclusion

Why is it me?


[Pre-Chorus]

Chainheart machine

Your suffering

Will be legendary

Even in hell!


[Chorus]

'Cause I'll rise! (I'll rise!)

You'll fall! (You'll fall!)

Roll the dice! (Roll the dice!)

My call! (My call!)


[Outro]

'Cause I'll rise! (I'll rise!)

You'll fall! (You'll fall!)

Roll the dice! (Roll the dice!)

My call! (My call!)
