[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I carried your banner
I carried the answer

[Pre-Chorus; Chester Bennington]
And it was there in the gray
There in the space below
(There in the space below, there in the space below)
It was there in the gray
There that we came to know

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
We build ourselves up
To watch it cave in
We build ourselves up
But through it all
We can't wait
To burn it down again

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
And you were there in the gray
There in the space below
(There in the space below, there in the space below)
It was there in the gray
There that I came to know
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
We build ourselves up
To watch it cave in
We build ourselves up
But through it all
We can't wait
To burn it down again

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
This ain't no joke
I do not play
And I won't hold back the things I say
'Cause I'm no soldier and you're no king
So I don't bow down and kiss no ring
I built this up from (.....................................

So when this falls, I will not run
'Cause you can't lay down what I've begun

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
And it was there in the gray
There in the space below
(There in the space below, there in the space below)
It was there in the gray
There that we came to know
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
We build ourselves up
To watch it cave in
We build ourselves up
But through it all
We can't wait
To burn it down again

[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
When this falls, I will not run
'Cause you can't lay down what I've begun
We can't wait to burn it down again
When this falls, I will not run
'Cause you can't lay down what I've begun
We can't wait to burn it down again
