CAN’T SAVE YOURSELF
Verse 1:
I’m not
Not so sure just what to say at all
This is real
You’ve tried
Tried so hard to fight and stand up tall
But it kills
Pre-chorus:
Skip the finesse, take a guess
I wasn’t good with it
You were a mess in distress
But it’s just what it is
I must confess I’m impressed
With how you handled it ‘til we met
Chorus:
You can’t save yourself in all your tragedy
It’s my responsibility
Lift your eyes and see the light
I dare to say you’ve never seen the day you cannot save yourself
Verse 2:
It’s time
Time you’ve seen the finer line of grace
Freedom’s face
You’ve lied
To cover up your holes and your mistakes
Cheated fate
Pre-chorus 2:
Cut the regress, catch your breath
Well, this may hurt a bit
You looked all set to the rest, it’s time to lose the wit
Time to forget all the mess that you’ve made out of it
To the death
Bridge:
Son, drop that weight off your shoulders
Let’s travel far from the past
I know that pain isn’t over
And your will is like glass
But you should know that I am here to stay
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
And if I’m strong enough to bring the rain,
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away

LET MYSELF GO
Verse 1:
My city crumbles at my feet every time I try to speak
How could I let myself stand in the way of what’s to show in me
What can I do to get this through
Chorus:
I’ll let myself go, and I’ll never look behind cause nothing I do could ever be in the right
Oh, God, I need a little gravity just to give me some humility
Cause maybe all you want for me to do right now is tighten my lips so that you can take a bow
You’re changing everything I think I know
This is the moment that I’m letting go
Verse 2:
My castles fall like grains of sand, the ones I’ve built up with these hands
My selfishness and all its gold require me to let myself go
What can I do to get this through
Chorus:
I’ll let myself go, and I’ll never look behind cause nothing I do could ever be in the right
Oh, God, I need a little gravity just to give me some humility
Cause maybe all you want for me to do right now is tighten my lips so that you can take a bow
You’re changing everything I think I know
This is the moment that I’m letting go
Bridge:
The sun sets still, your light’s revealed, and all I see is your glory
It’s slipping through my hands

HAUNTING
Verse 1:
Haunting, this pain is haunting
Constant mourning, morning by morning
It’s burning my lungs, scent stays strong with my tongue
Who can endure this
The sun turns to dust, and the moon into blood
My sky is trembling
Chorus:
What is this sound that keeps ringing loud
The trumpets and thunder, they roar
What is this sound that keeps calling out
Come home, child
It’s time to come home, child
Verse 2:
Longing, this heart is longing for restoring from these cuts that keep pouring
It’s burning my lungs, scent stays strong with my tongue
Who can endure this
The sun turns to dust, and the moon into blood
My sky is trembling
Chorus:
What is this sound that keeps ringing loud
The trumpets and thunder, they roar
What is this sound that keeps calling out
Come home, child
It’s time to come home, child
Oh, come home, child
It’s time to come home, child
Chorus 2:
What is this sound that keeps ringing loud
Come home, child
What is this sound that keeps calling out
Come home, child
What is this sound that keeps ringing loud
Come home, child
What is this sound
Come home, child
Come home, child

TREMBLE THE GROUND
Verse:
We’ve become a force well known by the evil and the strong
By the grace of God we stand, rise up now you sons of man
Our patience wearing thin for the cowards of this land
For the love of God, resist
Meet the darkness with a fist
Chorus:
Oh, God, don’t disavow
The dormant are waking up now
Darkness shakes at the sound as our screams tremble the ground
Oh, God, don’t disavow
The dormant are waking up now
Darkness shakes at the sound as our screams tremble the ground
Verse:
We’ve become a force well known by the evil and the strong
By the grace of God we stand, rise up now you sons of man
Our patience wearing thin for the cowards of this land
For the love of God, resist
Meet the darkness with a fist
Chorus:
Oh, God, don’t disavow
The dormant are waking up now
Darkness shakes at the sound as our screams tremble the ground
Oh, God, don’t disavow
The dormant are waking up now
Darkness shakes at the sound as our screams tremble the ground
Bridge:
We’re longing for the day that wicked rots away
Our lungs grow weak, but still we speak to souls in disarray
We’ve come for our revenge on the root of our sickness
We’ve sat and watched while lives were lost to cowardly spirits

WON’T BACK DOWN
Verse 1:
The moment I walk through the door, they can tell that I am torn; they all know who I’ve been
They’re watching every move I make, guessing how long it will take until I finally give in
The pressure is surrounding me, I’m caught up in reality, it’s cutting off the lifeline to the Son
Darkness is all I can see, it’s making it harder to breathe
The battle has begun
Chorus:
Everything I am comes down to this
Another chance to fall, each time I slip
Each breath is suffocating, I’m hating this
The fire in my heart won’t let me quit
Oh, here we go now
The vicious have arrived, I’ve opened my eyes
I can see them so, get your guns now
I’ve taken my aim, this is for my name
I won’t back down
Verse 2:
I can see the tears and cries bleeding from my opened eyes, I can sense the waves are crashing in
I feel my body strengthening, there’s nothing they can throw at me,
I’m pulling from the depths of what lies within
One by one, they all fall, kissing the ground that I walk on
The tables have turned, now they will learn
As the battle rages on
Chorus:
Everything I am comes down to this
Another chance to fall, each time I slip
Each breath is suffocating, I’m hating this
The fire in my heart won’t let me quit
Oh, here we go now
The vicious have arrived, I’ve opened my eyes
I can see them so, get your guns now
I’ve taken my aim, this is for my name
I won’t back down, I won’t back down
Bridge:
So grab your shield and sword
The count starts now, we’re marching off to war
Bring on the wind, bring on the rain, bring on the fire, and bring on the pain
