[Verse 1]
Dm                     A#
 Fear is like a dagger
Dm                               Gm
 And blood is dripping off the blade
Dm                           A#
 They wave it like a scepter
Dm                             Gm
 In the kingdom come of the insane
Dm                               A#
 There's a wake up in the shelter
Dm                                Gm
 The prisoners have broke their chains
A#
 All hail the deceptors
Gm                 A7
 Who poison and manipulate


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
 Somebody sound the alarm
C/E
 Somebody ring the bell
F                                 Gm
 Grab the noose, the psychos are loose and we're headed straight for hell
Dm
 Ya'll better run for cover
C/E
 The writing is on the wall
A#
 It's pandemonium
     Gm               Dm
And Rome is about to fall


[Chorus]
Dm                           A#
 There's a reign over the horizon
Dm                             A#5   G5
 The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm                             A#
 We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm                  A7           A#
 The lunatics have taken the asylum
Dm                             A#5   G5
 The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm                             A#5   G5
 The lunatics have taken the asy----lum


[Verse 2]
Dm                  A#
 Deadly is the viper
Dm                                Gm
 That licks the venom from their veins
Dm                          A#
 Watch the way they slither
Dm                             Gm
 Like a parasite inside your brain


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                       C/E
 Too many sharks in the water
F              Gm
 Circling the weakest prey
Dm                      C/E
 Like a sniper in the shadows
Gm                Dm
 Waiting just to take his aim


[Chorus]
Dm                           A#
 There's a reign over the horizon
Dm                             A#5   G5
 The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm                             A#
 We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm                  A7           A#
 The lunatics have taken the asylum

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
 Somebody sound the alarm
C/E
 Somebody ring the bell
F                             Gm
 Drop the noose, too much to lose, we gotta save ourselves
Dm
 We better run for cover
C/E
 The writing is on the wall
F                         Gm
 We gotta take our power back
                    A7    A/C#
Before they take us all


[Chorus]
Dm                           A#

 The lunatics have taken the asylum
Dm                           A#

 We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
Gm                  A7           A#
 The lunatics have taken the asylum


[Outro]
Dm                    A#5   G5
 Oh, have taken the asy----lum
Dm                             A#5   G5
 The lunatics have taken the asy----lum
Dm                  A#5   A5
 Oh, and it's an upri----sing
Gm                  A7
 The lunatics have taken the asylum
