Lyrics
How To Survive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They look down from their ivory tower
At a world they never really knew
They light their torches and draw their arrows
They're on the hunt, and tonight the prey is you
But I can show what it's like
What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I’ll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive, oh
And now you've seen from behind the veil
Kings, knights and pawns all bleed the same
I refuse to be one of the fallen
I refuse to be one of the slain
And I can show what it's like
What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I’ll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive, oh
I'll show you how to survive
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive
I'll show you how to survive, yeah
I refuse to be one of the fallen
I refuse to be one of the slain
But I can show what it's like
What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I’ll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive
