D#m
Don't ever take a single second to breathe,
They're gonna send me on a murdering spree,
I can not wait to dance upon your grave,
They don't even have a soul left to be saved,

F#                 G#m
You would eat your young...

Chorus:
   D#m
We swam among the northern lights,
    F#
And hid beyond the edge of night,
     B
And waited for the dawn to come,
    G#m                    D#m
And sang a song to save us all!

D#m
Hey, ohhh, you want a holy war?
D#m
Hey, ohhh, you want a holy war?

I am alive I'm just playing dead
I'm gonna say what should have never been said
The giants of the world are crashing down
The end is near hear the trumpets sound

But you would eat your young

Chorus

D#m                 B
You would eat your young
G#m                 F# C#/F
You would eat your young
D#m                 B
You would eat your young
G#m                 F# C#/F
You would eat your young!

I am alive I'm just playing dead
I am alive I'm just playing dead

Chorus - x2
