I'm not a fan of puppeteers, 00:09

But I've a nagging fear, 00:10

Someone else is pulling at the strings. 00:12

Something terrible is going down, 00:13

Through the entire town, 00:15

Wreaking anarchy and all it brings! 00:16

I can't sit idly, 00:18

No I can't move at all! 00:19

I curse the name, 00:22

The one behind it all! 00:23

Discord, I'm howling at the moon, 00:27

And sleeping in the middle 00:29

Of a summer afternoon! 00:30

Discord, whatever did we do 00:31

To make you take our world away? 00:33

Discord, are we your prey alone, 00:36

Or are we just a stepping stone 00:38

For taking back the throne? 00:39

Discord, we won't take it any more, 00:40

So take your tyranny away! 00:43

Disco-o-o-o-rd 00:45

I'm fine with changing status quo, 01:03

But not in letting go, 01:05

Now the world is being torn apart! 01:06

A terrible catastrophe, 01:08

Played by a symphony, 01:10

What a terrifying work of art! 01:11

I can't sit idly, 01:13

No, I can't move at all! 01:14

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm not a fan of puppeteers,

But I've a nagging fear,

Someone else is pulling at the strings.

Something terrible is going down,

Through the entire town,

Wreaking anarchy and all it brings!

I can't sit idly,

No I can't move at all!

I curse the name,

The one behind it all!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!

Disco-o-o-o-rd

I'm fine with changing status quo,

But not in letting go,

Now the world is being torn apart!

A terrible catastrophe,

Played by a symphony,

What a terrifying work of art!

I can't sit idly,

No, I can't move at all!

I curse the name,

The one behind it all!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!
