There's a moment
In your bones when
When the fire takes over
Blood is running
Heart is pumping
As the battle gets closer
Ooh, they can say what they want now
Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out

---

Standing on top like a champion
Keep your silver, give me that gold
You'll remember when I say
We can be heroes

Let me back it up to the start of the climb
Faced with an army of vipers and lions
I had to keep on reaching up 'cause it was my time
To tear down the kingdom and call out the liars

---

Got a jail on my heart from the pessimists
Got those nails in my mouth for impressionists

---

Tell me what it is that you think you believe
Caught in a cross fire. Trouble at sea
Every single day I feel that gold underneath
I see the locked doors but I got the key

---

Have you ever shaken hands with the devil in the night?
Let me tell ya
I've got every reason to fight

Don't look us right in the face
It's like starin' at a burnin' sun
Got teeth like razor blades
And you know that we're out for blood

Tell me a piece of your history that you're proud to call your own
Speak in words you picked up as you walked through life alone
We used to swim in your stories and be pulled out by their tide
Choking on the words and drowning with no air inside

---

Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
My dear, my dear, my dear
Now you've hit a wall and you hit it hard
My dear, my dear, oh dear

---

It is not enough to be dumbstruck
Can you fill this silence?
You must have the words in that head of yours
And oh oh, can you feel this silence
I can't take it anymore
Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind

---

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat

---

I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

---

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears

---

So make your siren's call and sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
'Cause I need freedom now and I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
