  • It's the start of the end, surrender the throne
    The blood on my hands covered the holes
    We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
    And we're truly alone, the scars on your heart are yours to atone
    We've been surrounded, let 'em sing, let 'em sing

    The deeper you dig, the darker it gets
    There's nowhere else for us to go
    We live what we learn, and then we forget
    We'll never find our way back home, come on

    They came like moths to a flame
    You left like a house in a hurricane
    The wolves are at my door

    It's the start of the end, surrender the throne
    The blood on my hands covered the holes
    We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
    It's the start of the end, and we're truly alone
    The scars on your heart are yours to atone
    We've been surrounded, let 'em sing, let 'em sing

    I hear 'em clawing at the gates (let us in, let us in)
    I hear them calling out my name (I don't care)

    Let them sing, let them sing, let them sing
    Let the bastards sing
    Let them sing, let them sing
    Let the bastards sing
    Let them sing, let them sing
    Let the bastards sing
    Let the godforsaken bastards sing

    They came like moths to a flame
    You left like a house in a hurricane

    The wolves are at my door
    But I can't see the writing on the walls
    The wolves are at my door
    Waiting for my empire to fall

    It's the start of the end, surrender the throne
    The blood on my hands covered the holes
    We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
    It's the start of the end and we're truly alone
    The scars on your heart are yours to atone
    We've been surrounded, let 'em sing, let 'em sing Writer/s: Jordan Fish, Lee Malia, Oliver Sykes
