Instead of playing the octaves and power chords just rest

is a stutter effect done via ProTools for the beginning
Of the 2nd pre chorus riff.

Lyrics:
A black heart in an empty shell where the desperation laid waste - I am you
A blank page in an unknown book and the opposition you face
I am the endless scar, the broken hope, the gaping hole in your faith - I am you
The dark trail of endless graves where all the lifeless lay
I am waiting for that blade to fall and cut me free of this
Hollow life that leads to all the ends that don't exist
[Chorus:]
Time to burn this design, to free ourselves
We will burn this together
Time to fuse this design, to make us one
We will burn this together
A new voice for the broken souls in a world awaiting its death - I am you
An everlasting well of life for the hopeless and the wrecked
I am the dying self, the narrow path, the calm that conquered the storm - I am you
The cross hairs on the head of shame, the negation to conform
I am waiting for that blade to fall and cut me free of this
Hollow life that leads to all the ends that don't exist
[Chorus]
I will rise
I will break this
You will rise
You will break this
We will rise
We will take them down
Rise and break them down
Down, down, down
Break them down
[Chorus]
