[intro]
[ominous female choir]
The kings of wrath
Fight the lords of peace
Under loved and over powered
Pulled by string tied loosely
Future pacifists with hidden monsters
War torn lands and foster kids
Volcanoes spilling lava with no lid
What men can do to a world that needs to be fixed
[drum / guitar solo]
[verse1]
Buried memories hidden in regret
Masked by rage and destain
Taken apart brick by brick
Doing anything that sticks
We see beauty in what we miss
Written on a note not a long list
For if others could see our vision
[SCREAM]
WE REACH BUT NO ONES THERE
BURNED UP AND BRIGHT
OVERWHELMING PRESSURE
POWERED BY A DYING STAR
STEELING THE DARKNESS
THAT WAS SET LONG AGO
BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED
THAT ITS
[SCREAM]
THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
[BREAKDOWN]
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
[chorus]
So don’t forget what you were taught
And where you have been brought
Where others have failed and lost
We conquered and surpassed
We are the ones that false prophets fear
Let the tears fall battle angels call
Fill the sky with trumpets
Stand ready to tear the soul of puppets
Not letting go
Our last hope the final blow
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
Oooooohhhh
mmmmmmm
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
[verse2]
Yea
Power is measured by connection
Strength is how many you have
So hold on tight of what you grab
All it takes is one stab
Through the heart
Taken forever
Lost what was loved
Burned sanctuaries
Written down and put in libraries
Read and learn, yearn and burn for more
We all know what we want deep down in our core
Some ask what was it for
We know but oathed and sworn in secret
The ones that pick up where others fell
Know what we know
And how low
It can get
Living in dread
Carved in steel
It won’t rot or be forgotten
In its own separate lot
It’s all we’ve got
The fight the war the generational lore
Of what we’ve fought for in our tours
[build up]
Yea
Yea
Yea
Yea yea yea
Ugh
[scream]
YEA
[SCREAM]
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

FITTEST

[HARD HEAVY METAL BREAKDOWN]
[outro]
[slow reverb piano]
The kings of wrath
Fight the lords of peace
Under loved and over powered
Pulled by string tied loosely
Future pacifists with hidden monsters
War torn lands and foster kids
Volcanoes spilling lava with no lid
What men can do to a world that needs to be fixed
Buried memories hidden in regret
Masked by rage and destain
Taken apart brick by brick
Doing anything that sticks
We see beauty in what we miss
Written on a note not a long list
For if others could see our vision
Survival of the fittest
