Dm
Hold me down
My vengeance roars
Fools abound
My patience folds
Wanderlust
My compass speaks
Home awaits
On this mountain's peak

Chorus:
Dm
Ohhh, back down
Ohhh, back down
Dm G# F         E
Ohhh, back down
Dm G# F         E
Ohhh, back down

Praise our gods
They breed deceit
Truth is found
Where lions meet

Chorus

Justice reigns
But not before
Freedom rides
On the back of war
