Both Ends Burning

THE WORLD IS TRYING YOU
HOPING YOU’D GIVE IN
IT CORNERS YOU AND CHAINS YOU BUT YOUR STRENGTH COMES FROM WITHIN
ON ALL CYLINDERS YOU FIRE, BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE WON’T WAIT
RISE ABOVE THE TRIALS – BOUND TO SEAL YOUR FATE

RISE WHEN SOMETHING IN YOU DIES
THAT YOU CAN’T DENY
CAN’T HOLD ON TO IT
RISE WHEN SOMETHING IN YOU DIES
YOU ARE FORSAKEN
BOTH ENDS BURNING

YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
WITH THE SUFFERING YOU CLAIM
EMBRACE THE FACT THERE’S NO LOOKING BACK
BECAUSE YOU’RE AGAINST THE GRAIN

YOU ARE THE STAIN SO HARD TO SEE
AND THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU BE
START BURNING AWAY THEY WILL FOLLOW EVENTUALLY
THEY WILL ACCEPT DEFEAT

 

RISE WHEN SOMETHING IN YOU DIES
THAT YOU CAN’T DENY
CAN’T HOLD ON TO IT
RISE WHEN SOMETHING IN YOU DIES
YOU ARE FORSAKEN
BOTH ENDS BURNING

WATCH YOUR OLD SELF DIE
FROM THE EMBERS OF YOUR PAST
THE DEBRIS OF YOUR MISTAKES
SURELY BURNING FAST

SO I IGNITE A THOUSAND TORCHES
REINFORCED TO SIGNAL MY CHANGE
AND SO THE FIGHT GOES ON
WITH A DOSE OF POSITIVE RAGE
AND I KNOW MANY BEFORE ME
HAVE FALLEN HARD ON DEAF EARS
LET ME PROVE THAT THE FLAMES
TASTE SWEETER THAN THE TEARS
yOU SHED FOR YEARS AND YEARS

FROM THE ASHES WE SHALL RISE

IN THE NAME OF SELF PRESERVANCE
I’M ONE WITH THE FLAMES
BURNING AT BOTH ENDS
IT WON’T BE THE SAME
IN THE NAME OF SELF PRESERVANCE
MY STRENGTH I RECLAIM
