The Catalyst

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
God bless us, everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no

[Chorus: Chester Bennington with Mike Shinoda]
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
God save us, everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No!
God save us, everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No

[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

[Outro: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone (Lift me up, let me go)
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone (Lift me up, let me go)
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone (Lift me up, let me go)
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone (Lift me up, let me go)
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun
