How to Survive lyrics

They look down from their ivory tower

At a world they never really knew

They light their torches and draw their arrows

They're on the hunt, and tonight the prey is you

But I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated

What it's like to be degraded

What it's like to be a target

But have skin as thick as steel

I'll show you how to bring chaos

I'll show you how to be dangerous

In a world that teaches an eye for an eye

I'll show you how to survive, oh

And now you've seen from behind the veil

Kings, knights, and pawns all bleed the same

I refuse to be one of the fallen

I refuse to be one of the slain

And I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated

What it's like to be degraded

What it's like to be a target

But have skin as thick as steel

I'll show you how to bring chaos

I'll show you how to be dangerous

In a world that teaches an eye for an eye

I'll show you how to survive, oh

I'll show you how to survive

In a world that teaches an eye for an eye

I'll show you how to survive

I'll show you how to survive, yeah

I, I refuse to be one of the fallen

I, I refuse to be one of the slain

But I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated

What it's like to be degraded

What it's like to be a target

But have skin as thick as steel

I'll show you how to bring chaos

I'll show you how to be dangerous

In a world that teaches an eye for an eye

I'll show you how to survive
