D                     C
The path of hate is a dangerous track
Bm                         Bb
You take one step and it's hard to turn back
A
It pulls you along
    Gm                       D
And though it seems wrong it feels right
Gm         A       D
Don't you see this path you're on leaves a permanent mark
         Bm                     Bbm
It feels good at first, then it slowly turns dark
     D
With each passing day
       Gm                      A
You're further astray from the light

[Chorus]
              D                 A
Suddenly, you lose your way and lose the thread
Bm                   A
Lose your cool, then lose your head
G             Em          A
Every loss is harder to excuse
                       D                   A
Then you'll see you'll lose your faith and lose your soul
Bm                 A
'Til you lose complete control
Gm                          A       Bm
And realize there's nothing left to lose
Bb      A       D
Nothing left to lose

[Spoken]
N.C.
Cass, trust me
N.C.
Becoming the villain isn't the answer
N.C.
Is that what you think I am?

[Verse]
G
The path I'm on is a path paved in black
Em7                          Eb
I'm taking that road and I'm not looking back
     G
Each twist and each turn
       Cm                            G
Leads straight where I'm yearning to go
Am        D        G                  F
Yes, it's true, my path is dark but I see where it ends
Em7                       Eb
My rivals will fall as my power ascends
D
Despise me, that's fine
Cm                          D
I'm taking what's mine even so

Not like you

[Chorus]
G
You lost your nerve, you lost the game
Em                       G
But you and I, we're not the same
C                    Am             D
I'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose
              G
So I chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains
Em                   D
Lose each weakness that remains
Cm                      D       Em
Now that I have nothing left to lose
Eb      D       G    F
Nothing left to lose

[Bridge]
Eb
You have so much to hold onto
Cm                       Bb
I only want my rightful dues

[Chorus]
               Eb
Listen please, you've lost your grip
    Dm
And lost your mind (I'm not gonna lose)
Cm                    Bb
All's not lost, don't be so blind (I refuse)
Fb               Fm        Bb
Cut your losses, drop the IOUs (I refuse)
       Eb
Oh-oh, choose
I lose no tears and lose no sleep
Cm               Bb
What I want I'll take and keep (It's time for you to choose)
Fbm                Bb             Cm
You can't stop the turning on the screws

[Spoken]
N.C.
You'll stay in that cage until this is done
N.C.
And just in case you think of escaping

Bbm        Bb              Eb
Now I have nothing left to lose
