FATE IS DETERMINED BY CHOICES, WE MUST MAKE DAILY
IT’S BECAUSE OF THIS REASON WE’RE HERE, WE STAND BEFORE YOU
DON’T DWELL ON THE PAST, FORGET THE HINDSIGHT
DON’T’ DWELL ON THE PAST, REGRET HAS NOTHING FOR YOU
OUR ACTIONS DETERMINE OUR CHOICES, OUR CHOICES THAT PUT OUR PATHS IN MOTION…MOTION
PRECHORUS- ASHES TO ASHES AND DUST TO DUST, WIPE AWAY THE DEBT X2
CHORUS- ARE YOU TRYING TO WASTE MY TIME, CAUSE I KNOW MY MIND IS MADE, YOU CAN’T KEEP THIS DREAM FROM FADING, THIS IS MY CHOICE, THIS IS MY LIFE
GALLOWS AROUND THE NOOSE (THE NOOSE) TIGHTENS AROUND MY NECK (MY NECK) X2
UNITED BY OUR FATE BROKEN APART, REBUILT STARING DOWN OUR FEARS
YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, ALL OF THE CHOICES ARE YOUR OWN
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (Breakdown)
DON’T DWELL ON THE PAST, FORGET THE HINDSIGHT
DON’T DWELL ON THE PAST, REGRET HAS NOTHING FOR YOU
CHORUS X2
OUTRO - ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST WIPE AWAY THE DEBT

ALL OF THESE PHYSICS WORK TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY
THEY’RE LIKE THE GEARS IN THE NEVER YIELDING CLOCK
THEY COUNT ME CLOSER TO DEATH, MY WALLS HAVE CRUMBLED AND SO HAVE I
I AM NOTHING BUT A SHELL, EMPTY AND UNWANTED BUT TIME MY OLD FRIEND, YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE IN MY TIME OF NEED
CHORUS- YOU’RE LIVING A LIE, YOU’VE FALLEN AND YOU NEED HELP
NOW YOU’RE LEFT WONDERING WHY, YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOURSELF
PEOPLE ARE LIKE DIEASES, PLAGUES TO HINDER ALL, NEVER GINUINE AGAIN THE PHYSICS PROTECT YOU
THEY ALLOW THE DECEIT AND THE COVER OF NIGHT BRINGS FORTH MAN MADE DEMONS OF GREED
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT THEY HAVE RECYCLED AND BEGAN AGAIN… AGAIN
IF TIME COULD BE REVERSED YOU WOULD BE PART OF THIS WORLD, BUT INSTEAD YOU LAY SIX FEET UNDER GROUND
BUT MY SMILE REMAINS, AND HERE I STAND, FOREVER UNBROKEN
YEAH, I WON’T STOP BURNING THROUGH THESE CHANCES, I WON’T STOP BURNING THROUGH THE PROSPECTS
I WON’T STOP BURNING EVERYTHING, SO TRY AND STOP ME
CHORUS- YOU’RE LIVING A LIE, YOU’VE FALLEN AND YOU NEED HELP
NOW YOU’RE LEFT WONDERING WHY, YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOURSELF
I’VE FALLEN DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL, I’VE FALLEN DOWN AND I NEED HELP
NOW I’M LEFT WONDERING WHY I CAN’T ESCAPE MYSELF
FOREVER UNBROKEN

THIS WORLD IS FALLING APART IN THE FOG
I CAN SEE THIS LIFE OF MINE DIMINISH
MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH SELFISHNESS AND REGRET
MY HANDS ARE CRACKED AND BLOODY FROM MY OWN DEDICATION
CHORUS- I CAN’T SIT BACK AND WATCH THE ONLY WORLD I LOVE BE LEFT HOPELESS
ARE YOU WITH ME, ARE YOU WITH ME?
IF YOU PRETEND THAT YOU CAN ONLY SAVE YOURSELF, YOU ARE HOPELESS
ARE YOU WITH ME, ARE YOU WITH ME?
I’VE WORKED TOO HARD FOR THIS TO SLIP AWAY
MY HEART IS FINALLY FULL WITH PURPOSE
DETHRONE THE NAYSAYERS, WE WILL OVERCOME ALL
TODAY IS THE DAY WE FACE ALL FEARS
BEATEN AND BROKEN, WILL CALLOUS OUR HIDES
STAGNATION AND COMPLACENCY IS THE DOWNFALL OF CREATION
BITE DOWN AND FACE THE TRUTH
LIVING IN A STANDSTILL, TRYING TO LIVE THIS LIFE (LIVE THIS LIFE)
WORKING MY WAY UP, FINDING YOUR OWN PATH
YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT?
CHORUS- I CAN’T SIT BACK AND WATCH THE ONLY WORLD I LOVE BE LEFT HOPELESS
ARE YOU WITH ME, ARE YOU WITH ME?
IF YOU PRETEND THAT YOU CAN ONLY SAVE YOURSELF, YOU ARE HOPELESS
ARE YOU WITH ME, ARE YOU WITH ME?
TAKE A STAND! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE X2

KEEPING MY HEAD UP WHEN EVERYONE IS TRYING TO PUSH ME UNDER
I’M A FIGHTER, AND THESE WATERS WON’T CONSUME ME
THESE RAGING SEAS ARE WHAT I HAVE TO CONQUER
SO FULL OF DOUBT, FULL OF HATRED, AGAINST ALL ODDS AND PRESSURE
I WILL KEEP AIR IN MY LUNGS
I’LL ALWAYS FIGHT, I’LL ALWAYS PULL THROUGH
I’LL MAKE A BELIEVER OUT OF YOU
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DOUBTS, GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT
I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER REALLY THERE FOR ME
TRUE COLORS MAKE A PAINTING IN YOUR CANVAS FULL OF HATE
NEGATIVITY WAS NEVER MY FRIEND, AND THAT’S WHAT YOU REPRESENT
THERE’S FACES ALL AROUND, ALL COVERED BY A MASK
SOME INTRIGUING, REVOLTING, SOME WILL MELT AWAY
DROWN IN THE WATER, YOUR PRIDE WILL TAKE YOU UNDER
YOU FOOLED ME ONCE, IT WON’T HAPPEN TWICE
I’M NOW MAN OVERBOARD, LEFT IN THE OCEAN ON MY OWN
THE WATERS AND HANDS, THEY CAN’T HOLD ME UNDER
THE SURFACE SO CLOSE, I CAN STILL BREATHE
I WILL BREAK AWAY AND SWIM TO SHORE
NOW IS THE TIME TO BREAK FREE, BREAK FREE
YOUR HOLD WON’T LAST, YOUR BREATH IS FAST
YOU’RE TREADING DEEP WATER
YOUR LIFE IS SHORT, YOU’LL DROWN BY FORCE
I WON’T HOLD YOU UP, YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF
WHO WILL SAVE YOU IN THE END, WHO WILL SAVE YOU IN THE END

DIVIDED BY WALLS ESTABLISHED BY SOCIETY, SPLIT BY RACE AND RELIGION
WE ARE LIKE LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER
YOU FOLLOW THE ONE WHO WILL END YOUR LIFE, CLOSED MINDED GROUPS WHO CONTROL
BUT THEY FUCKED WITH THE WRONG ONES, IT’S OUR TIME, NOW THEY’RE FUCKING DONE
WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AND TAKE BACK WHAT’S OURS X2
CHORUS- OUR LIVES YEARNING TO IGNITE, OUR SOULS BURN FOREVER BRIGHT
WE’LL DIE BEFORE WE FALL, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, NO
WE’LL NEVER TURN BACK ON THIS LIFE, WE’LL ALWAYS WANT TO STAND AND FIGHT
WE’LL RISE ABOVE IT ALL, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN
DESPITE OUR UPBRINGING, WE CAN BECOME GREATER
THIS NATION MUST UNITE AND SHATTER THE WALLS OF DIVERSITY
TAKE THEIR LIVES BEFORE THEY ENSLAVE US X2
WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AND TAKE BACK WHAT’S OURS
CHORUS- OUR LIVES YEARNING TO IGNITE, OUR SOULS BURN FOREVER BRIGHT
WE’LL DIE BEFORE WE FALL, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, NO
WE’LL NEVER TURN BACK ON THIS LIFE, WE’LL ALWAYS WANT TO STAND AND FIGHT
WE’LL RISE ABOVE IT ALL, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN, WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN
WE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN!! X2
