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 the helm
(I am losing sight again)


[Bridge]
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)


[Bridge]
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.


Wanting it back
(Don't fight me, God!)


(Here I come! (Held out for about 2 seconds))


(Die! (Held out for about 5 seconds))


[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.


Save us all!
