Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G D Em
Walking down the street of broken dreams and lies,
C G D Em
Seeing through the veil, the world in disguise.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Chains of deceit, we’re born to resist,
C G D Em
Fighting the system, we persist.
(Verse 2)
C G D Em
Washed by the rain of hypocrisy and greed,
C G D Em
Bearing the pain, sowing the seed.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Chains of deceit, we’re born to resist,
C G D Em
Fighting the system, we persist.
(Outro)
C G D Em
Chains of deceit, break free or exist,
C G D Em
In the end, Rotten Sin will persist.
