[Intro: Tim Lambesis]

All we can do is heal

Or let it destroy us

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]

Some of our wounds

Come from those around us

While some are self-inflicted

By thorns growing from within

But the story remains the same

Once we carry the hurt and shame

All we can do is heal

Or let it destroy us

(Destroy us)

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below

In blackened soil nеw power grows (grows)

New power grows

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

Sеntenced to a lesser life

For what we’ve been through?

Or growing in ways that we

Never thought possible before?

Cutting off what can’t survive

So we can let our weakness die

(So we can let our weakness die, die)

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below (roots below)

In blackened soil new power grows

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

Regeneration comes after death

And virtue from rooting out damage

Cut off what can’t survive

[Solo]

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below (roots below)

In blackened soil new power grows

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below (roots below)

In blackened soil new power grows

New power grows
