[Verse 1]
Dm A#
Fear is like a dagger
Dm Gm
And blood is dripping off the blade
Dm A#
They wave it like a scepter
Dm Gm
In the kingdom come of the insane
Dm A#
There's a wake up in the shelter
Dm Gm
The prisoners have broke their chains
A#
All hail the deceptors
Gm A7
Who poison and manipulate
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Somebody sound the alarm
C/E
Somebody ring the bell
F Gm
Grab the noose, the psychos are loose and we're headed straight for hell
Dm
Ya'll better run for cover
C/E
The writing is on the wall
A#
It's pandemonium
Gm Dm
And Rome is about to fall
[Chorus]
Dm A#
There's a reign over the horizon
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm A7 A#
The lunatics have taken the asylum
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
[Verse 2]
Dm A#
Deadly is the viper
Dm Gm
That licks the venom from their veins
Dm A#
Watch the way they slither
Dm Gm
Like a parasite inside your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C/E
Too many sharks in the water
F Gm
Circling the weakest prey
Dm C/E
Like a sniper in the shadows
Gm Dm
Waiting just to take his aim
[Chorus]
Dm A#
There's a reign over the horizon
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm A7 A#
The lunatics have taken the asylum
[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Somebody sound the alarm
C/E
Somebody ring the bell
F Gm
Drop the noose, too much to lose, we gotta save ourselves
Dm
We better run for cover
C/E
The writing is on the wall
F Gm
We gotta take our power back
A7 A/C#
Before they take us all
[Chorus]
Dm A#
There's a reign over the horizon
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm A7
The lunatics have taken the asylum
Dm A#
There's a reign over the horizon
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm A7 A#
The lunatics have taken the asylum
[Outro]
Dm A#5 G5
Oh, have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#5 G5
The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm A#5 A5
Oh, and it's an upri----sing
Gm A7
The lunatics have taken the asylum
