[Verse 1]
C5
Feeling like today is the day
You better make a move
Up and out and afraid
You better execute
Through the city, decayed
The people watching you
Get the fuck out the way
'Cause they could get it too
Lord as your witness
You just don't need no forgiveness
Don't know who's next on your hit list
You just handle your business
Suicidal, I say
You're bloody, tied away
Don't give a fuck if they hate you
You're the god that they pray to

[Chorus]
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5
  My empire, my empire
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5              Ab5
  My empire, my empire

[Verse 2]
C5
I'm all alone with
My solitary violence
God, I wanna sleep, but
I can't close my eyelids
Back to the streets, 'cause
We know all the right kids
Built this fucking city on
The backs of the white pricks
So fucking cold
Another death sentence
Another soul sold
It's all I know
I'm gonna die fast, bitch,
You can die slow
I'm a dead man,
A fucking dead man walking
I blew my head up,
But he kept on talking
I saw myself die and
I kept on watching
Went straight to Heaven,
But I kept on knocking
Kept on knocking

[Chorus]
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5
  My empire, my empire
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5              Ab5
  My empire, my empire

[Post-Chorus]
Eb5
Lord as your witness
You just don't need no forgiveness
Don't know who's next on your hit list
You just handle your business
C5
  My empire, my empire
   Eb5
Suicidal, I say
You're bloody, tied away
Don't give a fuck if they hate you
You're the god that they pray to
C5              Ab5
  My empire, my empire

[Bridge]
C5
  I'm a storm
Without a warning
The black clouds
That are forming
I turn the river red
I am deliverance
I'm a storm
Without a warning
The black clouds
That are forming
I turn the river red
I am deliverance

[Chorus]
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5
  My empire, my empire
Eb5
Heavy is the head that
Wears the crown of thorns
C5              Ab5
  My empire, my empire
