1. STRIKE BACK

You want to push me like I don't mind
You want to break me but not this time
You underestimate the moment you shove
You've got no idea what I'm capable of
No, no you don't

You think I'm going to back down
You better think again
I've always said
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back

You are the darkness and I am the light
You are the fallen and Heaven don't lie
So, so, so step back you're crossing the line
If I told once I've told you one thousand times
No, no you don't

You think I'm going to back down
You better think again
I've always said
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back

Strike back [x6]

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You've got my back against the wall
You've got my back, you're going to fall

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder

The bigger they are
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
The harder they fall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
The bigger you are, (the bigger you are) the harder you fall
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back


2. DEAD MAN

This is it, this is where we make a stand
You and me, time to face this man to man
Can't you see we cannot go on
It's me against me again

I'm sick of the man I am within
Fighting me, making me fall down again
I commit, I'll commit your suicide
Now death will breath you in

Sitting here at my graveside I've never been so alive
You pulled the dead man out of me
I am not what I was, I'll never be what I was
You pulled the dead man out of me

I buried you, you where nearly my demise
It's only by the grace of God that I survived
I admit I was wrong to let you in
Never come back again

I can see all the possibilities rising up
Now that you're not pulling me down
This is where I say goodbye
And put the last bullet between your eyes

Sitting here at my graveside I've never been so alive
You pulled the dead man out of me
I am not what I was, I'll never be what I was
You pulled the dead man out of me

Sitting here at my graveside I've never been so alive
You pulled the dead man out of me
I am not what I was, I'll never be what I was
You pulled the dead man out of me

Sitting here at my graveside I've never been so alive
You pulled the dead man out of me
Dead man out of me


3. BRING TO LIFE

Tell me that I'm still breathing
Tell me that I'm not fading now
I'm not fading out

Tell me that I'm not crazy
Help me to make sense of it all
To make sense of it all

So wash it all away
And move it like a storm
The ocean's overflowing now
You bring to life all that is broken
You can turn the tide before it's too late
Cause I'm not afraid of anything
When You burn like a fire inside
You bring to life

Show me hope for healing
Show me signs of who You are
I want to see Your heart

You bring to life

You bring to life all that is broken
You can turn the tide before it's too late
Cause I'm not afraid of anything
When You burn like a fire inside
You bring to life

You burn like a fire inside
(You bring to life)
The ocean's overflowing now
I'm not afraid of anything
When You burn like a fire inside
You bring to life


4. LET ME DROWN

Now I see I can't save myself
I believed I was stronger than I felt
Everything turned to gold
And then it fell apart
It's the same old story
It's the same sad song
Where did I go wrong?

Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown

Take a breath
Hold it in and sink beneath
Feel the eyes of the living watching me
Lay me down in the water
Leave the past behind
There's a time to be born
And a time to die
And somewhere they collide

Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown

I have walked in distant waters
Let me drown
But I never walked alone
Let me drown
If my heart should ever wander
Let the water lead me home

Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out

Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown


5. ZOMBIE

Pretty plastic bottles
Lay beside your bed
With every dose you swallow
You lose your head

(And how) is your heart still bleeding?
(Where) did the human go?
(Yeah) they might keep you breathing
(Oh) but they numb your soul

Oh, where did all your fire go?

You're on the inside
And I know you're fighting
On the outside
Your flesh is dying
But this is not your funeral
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up the zombie
So long over medicated
Thinking nothing's wrong
Cause you're so sedated
This is not your funeral
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up the zombie!
Wake up the zombie!

You started forgetting who you really are
I'm getting kinda worried
You've been gone so long
(And how) is your body sleeping?
(Where) did the human go?
Has it stopped the healing?
(Oh) Have you lost you control?

Oh, where did all your fire go?

You're on the inside
And I know you're fighting
On the outside
Your flesh is dying
But this is not your funeral
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up the zombie
So long over medicated
Thinking nothing's wrong
Cause you're so sedated
This is not your funeral
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up the zombie!
Wake up the zombie!

Pretty plastic bottles
Lay beside your bed
Overdose
Gonna lose your head


6. WE FALL APART

The world's on fire but we're all smiling
Though it's all our fault
But life is short so we resort to laughing through it all

It's the battle within the good and the sin
With both sides standing strong
It's the permanent scars
How broken we are
It's the things that hurt us all

But isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart
It's magical and tragic all the ways we break our hearts

So unpredictable
We're comfortably miserable
We think we're invincible
Completely unbreakable
And maybe we are
Isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart

You're a liar but I'm a coward so I can't throw a stone
We're so imperfect but so worth it because we're not alone

It's the wars that we wage, the lives that we take
For better or for worse

It's the lion we cage, the love and the rage
That keeps us wanting more

But isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart
It's magical and tragic all the ways we break our hearts

So unpredictable
We're comfortably miserable
We think we're invincible
Completely unbreakable
And maybe we are
But isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart

The world is dark but all it takes
Your love to spark
To set my heart on fire once again

But isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart
Isn't it beautiful
Oh, isn't it wonderful
The way we fall apart
It's magical and tragic all the ways we break our hearts

So unpredictable
We're comfortably miserable
We think we're invincible
Completely unbreakable
And maybe we are
But isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart

Isn't it beautiful
The way we fall apart


7. TAKE THE BULLETS AWAY

I've got my finger on the trigger
One bullet in the gun
And I'm spinning the revolver
Thinking this could be the one

I tried to find religion
To see what I'd become
I was ruined by the world
But I blamed it on the Son

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away

I've tried to build resistance
I've tried to start a war
But no one ever listened
I've bottled up the storm

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away

You're so disarming
There's nothing left to fear
You're so disarming
I'd drop all my weapons to show you that I'm not afraid
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away


8. TAKING LIFE

What have I done with life, I close my eyes, and now I say I can't see
Because of the tears that fall, I built the walls and now unfortunately
Well, I try to talk to you and I can't break through and it's killing me
Well, I feel lost inside the space between

So I'm done making excuses for mistakes I've made
For so long now I have found the way to pass the blame
Oh, I know you will forgive me if I turn away
From this life of shame you have made a way

I'm taking life
I'm getting older
I won't back down
I'm getting closer
I'm taking life
I'm far from over
It's not the end
This is not the end

So many years I've wasted selfishly, embraced the natural things
And I thought that I was fine as long as I didn't bring someone pain
But now I've begun to see your plan for me, it's so much more than this game
Father cover me, just like the rain

I'm taking life
I'm getting older
I won't back down
I'm getting closer
I'm taking life
I'm far from over
It's not the end
This is not the end, yeah.

My eyes are open and my path is straight
You moved the mountain so there's nothing in my way
Your love is boundless and forever stays the same
I am on my way
I am on my way

Oh, I'm taking life
I'm getting older
I won't back down
I'm getting closer
I'm taking life
I'm far from over
It's not the end
This is not the end

I don't wanna waste my life, oh
Oh!

I'm taking life
I'm getting older
I won't back down
I'm getting closer
I'm taking life
I'm far from over
It's not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end


9. SEVER

Sundown it's time to feed it
Your demons come to life
You try but can't defeat them
It's over say goodnight
I see you shiver
We're running out of time
It's now or never
I'm reaching for the knife

And I see a new day rising
As we divide

Separate my soul
Watch as you expose
All this violence
Out of control
Cancer in my bones
You wont let me go
So it's you I sever

Wake up the moon is rising
You feel the other side
Tonight you face the dying
There's nowhere left to hide
The taste so bitter
But it will wash away
I will deliver
The sickness to the grave

And I see a new day rising
As we divide

Separate my soul
Watch as you expose
All this violence
Out of control
Cancer in my bones
You wont let me go
So it's you I sever

I cut the ties
I've been betrayed
My flesh and soul are still at war

I shed the skin underneath
I feel the light
Set me free

Separate my soul
Watch as you expose
All this violence
Out of control
Cancer in my bones
You wont let me go
So it's you I sever

I see a new day rising
All this violence
Out of control
So it's you I sever

I see a new day rising
All this violence
It's you I sever


10. I STAND

Why should I be ashamed
To talk about the one that I know is real
Or about how sick I think it is when babies are killed
Or the fact: there's people starving without love or a home
When we could feed a whole village with what we throw to our dogs

I believe that He has died and He is risen again
I believe that He will burn this world down in the end
I don't care what you think about me or what I say
I mean every word, why should I be ashamed

I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, when everything falls
I stand

We're back from the dead
We play for love
We play for those who come out
And we don't play for the money, or the girls, or the crowd
It's the fans and the lights, the guitars and the mic
It's the 2 AM and we'll be driving straight through the night

But when the music fades and is stripped away
We stand alone at the end of the stage
I hope you remember every word that I say
That Your way alone is the only way

I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, when everything falls
I stand

In the middle of blood and sorrow
I will stand here and fight
Gonna live like there's no tomorrow
This world is gonna know
When everything falls

I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, when everything falls
I stand

Step up and get knocked down
'Cause I stand
I stand
