Lyrics

V1
Wanna live and die by swords? Let love and violence cut you raw?
Be the one behind the scores that seem to light up all the boards?
Really need you to listen now, I'm counting down
Political man verse the Christian man, it really draws a crowd

Pre 1
You'll be glorified, if only for a second
The bullet's shy, it glances off in your direction
Your head with a wound, their hand with a gun

Chorus
Accolades, if they only left you with barricades
Interplay, they're in your veins just to animate
If you're still standing where the shot rang, gonna ricochet, ricochet
Pain, gonna ricochet, ricochet

V2
Wanna live and die by swords? Earn praise while stapled to a cross?
Well thanks for the support, we've got double lives, you got double-crossed
You're beginning to glisten now, you're bleeding out
You're getting inefficient now, we're gonna have to put you down

Pre 2
The blast is wide, and your vest is unreflective
It rips inside, for a hollow point perspective
And we're not cryin for you, cuz the story's been spun

Chorus

Interlude
