Lyrics

Systems Down

[Verse 1]

Unchained

Feel it burnin' up the heat

See the flames

Scorchin' everything it seeks

[Pre-Chorus]

We got a chain reaction

It needs immediate action

This furnace is about to blast

[Chorus]

Systems (Systems) are goin' down

Systems are burnin' out

And they all fall down

[Verse 2]

Untamed

Like a tiger searchin' feed

Ain't no game

As the earth shakes beneath your feet

[Pre-Chorus]

We got a plan of action

Risin' heat to the maximum

Who knows if this place implodes?

[Chorus]

Systems (Systems) are goin' down

We got a chain reaction

Systems are burnin' out

And they all fall down

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

Hey

[Pre-Chorus]

This furnace is about to blast

[Chorus]

Systems (Systems) are goin' down

Systems are burnin' out

And they all fall down

(Systems down) Overload

(Systems down) See the flames fly

(Systems down) Systems goin' down

(Systems down) Watch it burn to the ground
