Mr..

Verse 1

 Mr. Malum's got a secret, he keeps when giv- ing speeches.

 Just a whisper in precision, that cuts through hesitation.

 With a sharp and evil whip to keep the dogs at bay.

Pre-chorus

 When the truth arrives, you wont believe your eyes.

 He's triumph's pessimist, but he's no less content.

Chorus

 With the wo-rld in the grip of his hands,

 He'll crush the air out of it's lungs.

 Say we don't want him to have it all,

 But now it's just too late to ask,

 Because his hold has turned so tight.

Verse 2

 His puppets to the left and his pawns to line the right,

 But every eye is front and center, a cruel intoxication,

 From the sap that trickles down his branches to their mouths.

Pre-chorus

 When the truth arrives, you wont believe your eyes.

 A vicious champion, but he's no less content.

Chorus

 With the wo-rld in the grip of his hands,

 He'll crush the air out of it's lungs.

 Say we don't want him to have it all,

 But now it's just too late to ask,

 Because his hold has turned so tight.

Bridge

 The air we're barely breathings not enough,

 And this final gasp that rattles us to bend,

 The last thing we will see, is Mr. Malum.

 The thin of his tie,

 One slink of the suit,

 A link to cuff,

 And the shine of his shoes.

 But when the truth arrives, you didn't trust your eyes.

(without words)

 Say we don't want him to have it all,

 But now it's just too late to ask,

Outro

 You had your chance, but you turned away again.

 You had your chance, but you turned away again.

 …………

You had your chance, but you turned your eyes away again.
