[Verse 1]
There's a war that's burnin' inside
And it's eating you
You can't win and you cannot fight
And can't afford to lose
You wander 'round, can't be restrained
Can't be subdued
Tried to shackle and you tried to chain
But the legion grew, yeah

[Verse 2]
Day and night in the concrete hills
You cut and bleed with stone
Got you down with your face on the ground
Time to overthrow
Many try but they turn and fail
Say, what can faith undo?
By the hand of the chosen one
The legion pigs were slew, yeah

[Chorus]
Mercy on the broken man
Demons die unfree
Tempter push, stick the needle in
But bruised head will bleed
Alright
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Host of wicked powers roam to and fro
Steal and kill, destroyer of your soul, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Now the war that was burnin' inside
Are dying embers in you
The demons fled and the book's been read
Give nothing to the Devil's due

[Chorus]
Mercy on the broken man
Demons die unfree
Tempter push, stick the needle in
But bruised head will bleed, yeah
Tempter push, stick the needle in
