[Verse 1]
Pale hands on the gate
Glass in my mouth
You sold the map
And burned the route
Red stamp on my name
Black smoke on your files
I hear that crack
In the wires for miles
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Feel it bend
One more pulse
And it all comes in
Count the scars
Count the lies
We don't sleep
We ignite
[Chorus]
System down, system down
Break the chain, tear it down
System down, system down
We bite back now
(Down, down)
System down, system down
You built the cage
Now watch it drown
[Verse 2]
Boots in the mud
Knuckles raw white
Your clean little laws
Go feral tonight
Cables spit sparks
Screens go blind
We found the fault
In your perfect design
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Feel it bend
One more pulse
And it all comes in
Count the scars
Count the lies
We don't sleep
We ignite
[Chorus]
System down, system down
Break the chain, tear it down
System down, system down
We bite back now
(Down, down)
System down, system down
You built the cage
Now watch it drown
[Bridge]
Empty the halls
Let the steel ring
Name after name
We cut the string
No crown left
No master plan
Just hungry jaws
And shaking hands
[Breakdown]
Down
On your knees
Down
Watch us breathe
Down
No peace
Down
No leash
[Final Chorus]
System down, system down
Break the chain, tear it down
System down, system down
We bite back now
(Down, down)
System down, system down
You built the cage
Now watch it drown
