[Verse 1]
Sitting in my ivory tower
Invincible to fall
Some would say my final hour
As you scale the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Step inside
I dare you all
And breathe the lies
And heed the call
When this all is said and done
I will have my way
And you will take the blame
[Chorus]
You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue, yeah
[Verse 2]
I swear to God, I'll find a way
To prove I still belong
I'd rather watch it burn away
Than say that I was wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
So step inside
I darе you all
And breathe my fire
And heed my call
[Chorus]
You'rе over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue
You're over the line, under the gun
I'll keep on scheming for what's to come
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue
[Bridge]
This alliance built on fear and rage
Ends in violence if I have my way
Fear, spite, lie to divide us
Hate, strife, bring decay
[Chorus]
You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Tooth of a crime, you will not outrun
Now you're under the spell of my tongue
You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue (Yeah)

Myles Kennedy:
This is a theme I’ve touched on a few times in the past because it fascinates me. It’s about a charismatic figure who’s capable of seducing people with what he says. This figure knows he won’t be held accountable because he talks others into doing things and taking the fall.
