Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Rope is burning, the world resets the stage

All our heroes are gone without a trace

My time has come

All it takes is a spark to light the fuse

Strike it up, set it off, nothing to lose

Yeah, I'm the one

[Verse 2]

Don't you know that I'm the one that you've been waiting for?

Take you higher, the messiah you've been praying for

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 3]

My time has come, millennium

The revolution has begun

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

This time, rewriting history

One life, one fire, remember me

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 4]

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 5]

Start the clock

It's humanity rewired

Everything's gonna change, the trigger fires

Under the gun

Through the ages of voices calling out

Telling me, live my life and make it count

Yeah, I'm the one

[Verse 6]

Don't you know that I'm the one that you've been waiting for?

Take you higher, the messiah you've been praying for

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 7]

My time has come, millennium

The revolution has begun

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

This time, rewriting history

One life, one fire, remember me

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 8]

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 9]

Though kings will rise and fall

I will keep standing tall

My words won't fade away

It's a brand new day

A brand new day

[Verse 10]

My time has come, millennium

The revolution has begun

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

This time, rewriting history

One life, one fire, remember me

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 11]

My time has come, millennium

The revolution has begun

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

This time, rewriting history

One life, one fire, remember me

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

[Verse 12]

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow

Unleash me, let me go

Set it off, set it off, watch, watch it blow
