Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your hand
(I am losing sight again)

[Pre-Chorus]
Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to Heaven when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

[Verse 2]
There's nothing left
So save your breath
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown
Nowhere to go
Holding your fate
(Loaded, I will walk alone)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Wanted it back
(Don't make me beg)
(Back off)
(Die)

[Chorus]

Save us all
