In a state of paranoia

I'm confused and dazed

I'll seek out and destroy ya

Welcome to your grave

Dear soon to be concluded

Reads the eulogy

I'm afraid your stay of execution

Is denied today

Yeah!

Blocking out the daylight

Ashes of tyrannicide

Raining down from the sky

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We're at the end of the road

We've got to give up the ghost

We're going up in smoke

We're at the end of the road

We've got to give up

Now it's time

To sign your life away

Forevermore

You hereby testify

Right on that dotted line

You stand accused

Of a shift

In the lost paradigm

You will now

Face a dead reckoning

For your crime

Truth be told I am resolved

To be or not to be

But maybe someone somewhere

Will her my soliloquy

Yeah I ain't afraid of the reaper's blade

As it hangs around my neck

'Cause mother Earth below

Will keep my bones

Though my body might be dead

Oh yeah!

Blocking out the daylight

Ashes of tyrannicide

Raining down from the sky

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We're at the end of the road

We've got to give up the ghost

We're going up in smoke

We're at the end of the road

Yeah!

Blocking out the daylight

Ashes of tyrannicide

Raining down from the sky

The pull of gravity's tide

Leaves us nowhere to hide

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We've got to give up the ghost

We're at the end of the road

We've got to give up the ghost

We're going up in smoke

We're at the end of the road
