Karaoké The Foundations of Decay My Chemical Romance

See the man who stands upon the hill

He dreams of all the battles won

But fate had left its scars upon his face

With all the damage they had done

And so tired with age he turns the page

Let the flesh submit itself to gravity

Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay

Let our blood invade if I die in pain

Now if your convictions were a passing phase may your ashes feed the river in the morning rays

And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay

He was there the day the towers fell

And so he wandered down the road

And we would all build towers of our own only to watch the roots corrode

But it's much too late

You're in the race

So we'll press and press 'till you can't take it anymore

Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay

Let our blood invade if I die in pain

And if by his own hand his spirit flies

Take his body as a relic to be canonized

Now

And so he gets to die a saint but she will always be the whore

You look stressed out

Against faith

Against all odds

Against change

We are plagued

You must fix your heart

And you must build an altar where it swells

When the storm decays and the sky it rains

Let it flood

Let it flood

Let it wash away

And as you stumble through your last crusade

Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays

And as the swarming calls we lay in the foundations

Yes it comforts me much more

Yes it comforts me much more

To lay in the foundations of decay

Get up
