Spoken Intro 
Dm 
Do you hear it? 
    Am 
The steel? 
The screams? 
    E 
The breaking of men? 
                Am 
I wonder if the earth will even remember their names 
Dm                           C           Am 
   I struck someone and they fell so fast 
E                                              Am 
But when his eyes met mine I saw myself like a mirror 
Before it faded 

 
Dm                     Am 
  It was just a little spark 
E 
Dancing in the wind 
  Am                             Dm 
Unassuming, it descends into the night 
                   Am 
We payed it little mind 
                        E 
At first we should have known 
                  Am 
Their plan, thir lie 
Dm                      Am 
   It was just a little smoke 
           E 
Creeping undrneath our door 
     Am                          Dm 
Like we've ignored so many times before 
                  Am 
But you've broken us down 
            E 
That little spark you tried to hide 
Is now burning from inside 


F                                    Am 
 You light the flame, We'll give you ashes 
F                                     Am 
 If you rig the game, We'll bring the masses 
F          Dm                Am 
 When everything you built collapses 
    F                           E 
And all is said and done, we'll see who's really won 


       Dm 
It all started with a flash 
    Am 
And then we felt the blast 
        E                           Am 
I still recall the smell of burning tires 
             Dm 
Then someone yelled, "hit the ground!" 
               Am 
With scattered bodies all around 
            E 
That little spark just set the world on fire! 

 
F              Dm                    Am 
 You light the flame, we'll give you ashes 
F                                    Am 
 If you rig the game, well bring the masses 
F          Dm                Am 
 When everything you built collapses 
    F                           E 
And all is said and done, we'll see who's really won 

 
        Dm 
Was the cost worth the risk? 
        Am 
How did we end up like this? 
      E                       Am 
Do we lend a helping hand, or raise an angry fist? 
           Dm                           Am 
That blank stare in the mirror, do they see what I see? 
    E                            Am 
Who here has been chosen? Was it you? Was it me? 
         Dm 
A bitter fight still awaits 
  Am 
A decider of fates 
            E 
Death still calls for us all 
The ones who're forced to wait 


F            Dm                 Am 
 You lit the flame, we gave you ashes 
F               Dm                   Am 
 You rigged the game, we brought the masses 
F       Dm          Am 
 Nobody ever really wins these fights 
       F                Dm       Am 
Was it worth all of the pain and sacrifice? 
             F 
(You lit the flame) 
            Dm           Am 
They always wanted us to burn 
                F 
(You rigged the game) 
            Dm         Am 
When are we ever gonna learn? 
               F 
(Who takes the blame?) 
            Dm               Am 
All hope is lost if we don't try 
       F 
Try to change what we've become 
            E 
We're gonna burn for what we've done 
                 Am 
We're gonna burn
