The battle has begun There are no winners in this world And we lose more and more Each and every day From first to last The art of the abandoned sons When everyone knows your name Who are you to anyone I know you lost control Couldn't see your fate Tried to save your soul, but you couldn't remain You had to throw it away Didn't you, didn't you You had to spit on our faith Couldn't you, couldn't you Burn the system down Burn the system down (You had to throw it away) Burn the system down You had to burn the system down I'm falling apart I don't know where I've been Or who I should have told About lies that we've lived I nearly lost control As I saw your name I couldn't let you go, I couldn't make you stay You had to throw it away Didn't you, didn't you You had to spit on our faith Couldn't you, couldn't you Burn the system down Burn the system down (You had to throw it away) Burn the system down You had to burn the system down Why did you throw it away? You had to throw it away Make my pain decay Make my pain decay Why did you throw it away? You had to throw it away Make my pain decay Make my pain decay You had to throw it away You burn the system down (You had to throw it away) You burn the system down (You had to throw it away) Burn the system down (You had to throw it away) Burn the system down (You had to throw it away) Burn the system down (You couldn't just let go)
