[Intro]
Same scene
New year
Same blood
Same fear
[Verse 1]
Been here
Since the first stone thrown
Watched kings get crowned
Then dragged from the throne
Saw flags change colors
Same hunger in their eyes
New names for the gods
Same bargain, same lies
I walk through ashes
They rebuild on the bones
Write "peace" on the posters
Over broken homes
Every oath, every era
Different mask, same face
History on shuffle
Never leaves this place
[Chorus]
I'm an immortal hero in a looping crime
World doesn't change through the course of time
Same battles
Same blame
Hit restart, different day
But it's all the same
I'm an immortal hero at the bitter end
Watch it burn, then begin, then burn again
Same story
New frame
Hit restart, different day
But it's all the same
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen bright revolutions
Fade into black suits
New laws, same chains
Just a fresh-cut noose
They chant new slogans
On the old cracked streets
Marching in circles
Where the past repeats
Every war that they wage
They say "this one’s last"
I can taste next century
Rotting in the past
They call me savior
While they light the fuse
Hand me rusted medals
For a war I didn’t choose
[Bridge]
How many times
Do I bleed for this rerun
How many lives
Till they see what they’ve become
[low vocal register]
You want a hero
But you won’t change
You want a future
Built on the same old rage
[Chorus]
