[Verse 1]
The Roman king, the Romulus
The precipice, born to change
The final days, the last embrace
Augustus, Nero, taking names

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm high, then I'm low, low
Stop, then I go, go
Bipolar, oh, oh
Yes, then I'm no, no
My time will come, I promise that
Pull the trigger back, back

[Chorus]
Bullet in a gun (Hey)
But in the end, my time will come
Like a bullet in a gun
Blood, sweat, and tears to be the one
Bullet in a gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Bullet in a gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)
Bullet in a gun

[Verse 2]
To make a name, you pay the price
You give your life, no other way
The devil's deal, it comes around
To wear the crown, rise up from the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm high, then I'm low, low
Stop, then I go, go
Bipolar, oh, oh
Yes, then I'm no, no
My time will come, I promise that
Pull the trigger back, back

[Chorus]
Bullet in a gun (Hey)
But in the end, my time will come
Like a bullet in a gun
Blood, sweat, and tears to be the one
Bullet in a gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Bullet in a gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)
Bullet in a gun

[Bridge]
How many voices go unheard?
How many lessons never learned?
How many artists fear the light?
Fear the pain, go insane?
Lose your mind, lose yourself
(You only care about fame and wealth)
Sellout, sellout, sellout

[Chorus]
Bullet in a gun (Hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
But in the end, my time will come
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Like a bullet in a gun
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Blood, sweat, and tears to be the one
Bullet in a gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey), gun (Hey)
Bullet in a gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)
Gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey), gun (Hey), gun (Bu-bu, hey)

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
