For the first time since 2014, My Chemical Romance has released a new song: The Foundations of Decay.

For all of my early 2000's emo-punk rockers out there, this is a trip down a deathly memory lane. I've had my funeral pre-planned and paid for going on a couple of years now. My Chemical Romance's "Helena" and "Famous Last Words" will be my opening and closing "hymns."

I will now add a third. Lyrics and meaning provided by Genius.com

Verse #1

See the man who stands upon the hill
He dreams of all the battles won
But fate had left its scars upon his face
With all the damage they had done
And so time, with age
He turns the page
Let the flesh
Submit itself to gravity

Chorus

Let our bodies lay
While our hearts we'll save
Let our blood invade
If I die in vain
Now, if your convictions were a passing faith
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
And as the vermin crawls
We lay in the foundations of decay

Verse #2

He was there, the day the towers fell
And so he wandered down the road
And we would all build towers of our own
Only to watch the rooms corrode
But it's much too late
You're in the race
So we'll press
And press 'til you can't take it anymore 

Bridge/Outro

(Let's flip out!)
Against fate (Antihero)
Against all life (As if it must be pure)
Against change (Wander through the ruins)
We are free (The guiltiness is yours)

Yes, it comforts me much more
Yes, it comforts me much more
To lay in the foundations of decay
Get up, coward!

It's never too late to rise from the dead. Do not let your past rule your present and/or your future. Rise. Resurface from the ashes and build better.
