[Verse 1]
Cm
Feeling like today is the day, you better make a move
Cm
 Up and out in the fray, you better execute
Cm
 Through the city decay, the people watching you
Cm
 Get the fuck out the way 'cause they could get it too
Cm
Lord as your witness, you just don't need no forgiveness
                  Cm
Don't know who is next on your hit list, you just handled your business
        Cm
Your suicidal essay, a bloody tidal wave
             Cm
Don't give a fuck if they hate you, you're the god that they pray to


[Chorus]
Eb
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Cm
 My empire, my empire
Eb
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Cm              Ab
 My empire, my empire

[Verse 2]
Cm
I'm all alone with my solitary violence
Cm
God, I want to sleep, but I can't close my eyelids
Cm
Back to the streets 'cause we know all the right kids
Cm
Built this fucking city on the backs of the white bricks
Cm
So fucking cold
  Cm
Another death sentence and another soul sold
     Cm
It's all I know
      Cm
I'm gonna die fast, bitch, you can die slow
      Cm
I'm a dead man, a fucking dead man walking
  Cm
I blew my head off, but he kept on talking
  Cm
I saw myself die and I kept on watching
Cm
Went straight to Heaven, but I kept on knocking

(Kept on knocking)


[Chorus]
Eb
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Cm
 My empire, my empire
Eb
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Cm              Ab
 My empire, my empire
Eb
Lord as your witness, you just don't need no forgiveness
                  Eb
Don't know who is next on your hit list, you just handled your business
Cm
 My empire, my empire
        Eb
Your suicidal essay, a bloody tidal wave
             Eb
Don't give a fuck if they hate you, you're the god that they pray to
Cm              Ab
 My empire, my empire

N.C.
I'm a storm without a warning
N.C.
The black clouds that are forming
N.C.
I'll turn the river red
N.C.
I am deliverance

 I'll turn the river red
