You stand up pridefully in front of thousands Screaming words of justice and truth You wear a mask of this city's hero You are the pretender You fake, you fake, but fortunate You wear a mask of this city's hero You fake, you fake, but fortunate You are the pretender Your weak speech lines your gums with gold teeth Yet you don't believe in a word that you say You're speaking shackles to life Self-righteousness is your demise You coward Draw a line in the sand You bastard Look at what you have become Your breath, it reeks of perversion Your tongue is just like a whore Full of vulgarity, full of the disease Where is the life in the life you live? You are the poor millionaire Where is the life in the life you live? A lifeless empire, a lifeless heir Your crown is like a lion's mouth devouring you from the inside out Turn away before there's nothing left It's life or death Tyrant Ring the bells of repentance Awakening from your deathbed Tyrant Ring the bells of repentance Awaken from your deathbed Oh, tyrant (Oh, tyrant) You stand up pridefully in front of thousands Screaming words of justice and truth You wear a mask of this city's hero You are the pretender Coward, coward Where is the life in the life you live? Where is the life in the life you live? Life you live (Live, live, live)
