Crown The Empire
Rise of the Runaways
[Intro: Andrew Rockhold]
On trial for our fates, we are the runaways
Out of place with mistakes we never made
Because all we are to anyone is just a runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are to anyone is just a runaway

[Verse 1: Dave Escamilla]
Well, if the water's so deep, then why are all of you still standing?
And if the sinner's asleep, then how can I rattle his cage?

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
I'm so sick of these dark days chasing me further underground
But I'll find my way to light
And you'll find your own demise

[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla, Both]
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall

[Post-Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
Run, run, running, keep running, I keep on running
Run, run, running, keep running, I keep on running
[Verse 2: Dave Escamilla, Dave Escamilla and Andrew Rockhold]
Well, how am I supposed to feel like everything will be okay
When you try to suffocate what little is left of me?

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Escamilla]
So fuck off, you've dug your grave and I will be just fine
'Cause I'll find my way to light
It's always been here inside

[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla, Both]
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall

[Chorus 2]
So try to live with the things that you’ve done
And try to take all the things that I love
You won’t break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall

[Guitar Solo]
Yeah!
Yeah!

[Pre-Bridge: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
Run, run, running, keep running, I keep on running
Run, run, running, keep running, I keep on running
Run, run, running, keep running, I keep on running
Running, I keep on running
Running, I keep on running
[Bridge: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
On trial for our fates, we are the runaways
Out of place with mistakes we never made
Because all we are to anyone is just a runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are is just a runaway

[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla, Both]
We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall

[Chorus 2]
So try to live with the things that you’ve done
And try to take all the things that I love
You won’t break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall

[Post-Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla, Both]
Run, run, running, I keep running, I keep running away
Running, running, running, I keep running, I keep running away
Run, run, running, I keep running, I keep running away
I keep on running away
I keep on running
