After listening a number of times to the various live versions out there and seeing some other lyrics transcriptions I noticed there may be some discrepancies. I'm posting what I hear to see what others think.

​

[Intro]

(Kill or be killed)

[Verse 1]

Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear

Our love and compassion, dissolved

Demons, have materialized in me

Can't fight them, they're taking control

[Pre-chorus]

And I've tried, oh I've tried, so hard to be good

But the war, rewards us with your blood

[Chorus 1]

Faith

It's driving me insane

It's forcing me to face

I must kill or be killed

[Interlude]

(Kill or be killed)

[Verse 2]

Driven, a stake right through my heart

I'm growing, so cold and detached

[Pre-chorus]

And I've tried, oh I've tried, so hard to spread love

But she prefers it, when I assert control

[Chorus 2]

Fate

It's brought us here to face

Our hopes and dreams erased

Either kill or be killed

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah [chromatic; similar to Break it to Me post-chorus]

(distorted scream)

(sirens)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [falsetto at first, then drops down]

Either kill or be killed

[Chorus 3]

Faith

It's driving me insane

It's forcing me to face

I must kill or be killed

[Outro]

(Kill or be killed)

(Kill or be killed)

During Nova rock Matt sang the 3rd chorus the same as the 2nd chorus. At Rock Am Ring he sang the 1st chorus also as the 3rd chorus.

The main difference I hear, and think is true, is that in the first chorus (and the 3rd chorus) the main word is "Faith" rather than "Fate" - lyrically it seems to fit a bit better IMO.
