[Intro: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

The wreckage seemed too great for me

I saw my dreams collapsing, collapsing

But through debris, the tragedy

Not one of us died fighting

The wreckage

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]

We somehow found a way

Through storming weather

Enduring skies turned grey

When we all said "never"

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]

The winds, the rain

Downpour needed to cultivate

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

We don't get to choose when it rains

We can fight or just get washed away

Will we be transformed or

Feel like we're drowning, drowning?

The wreckage

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

So, use the storms ahead

To flood out shortcomings

And then use what is left

To water what is worth planting

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]

The winds, the rain

Downpour needed to cultivate

Debris, tragedy

But not one of us died...

But not one of us died fighting

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

We don't get to choose when it rains

We can fight or just get washed away

Will we be transformed or

Feel like we're drowning?

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

Will we fight or just get washed away?

And now the mountains that we face

Are starting to look more like hills

We rose to a higher plain

So the whole horizon fell

It fell, the whole horizon fell

[Interlude: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

Through the debris of tragedy

Not one of us died fighting, fighting

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

We don't get to choose when it rains

We can fight or just get washed away

Will we be transformed or

Feel like we're drowning?

We don't get to choose when it rains

We can fight or just get washed away

Will we be transformed or

Feel like we're drowning?

[Verse 3: Tim Lambesis]

The wreckage that once seemed

Insurmountable to me

Is now becoming

A part of rebuilding

We somehow found a way

Through storming weather

Enduring skies turned grey

When we all said "never"

So, use the storms ahead

To flood out shortcomings

And then use what is left

To water what is worth planting

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]

Deep roots that refuse... deep roots that refuse...

Deep roots that refuse... that refuse to break

Deep roots that refuse... refuse to break

Deep roots that refuse to break
