[Verse 1]

Steal it, take it

Know my name in loving memory

Sand it, brand it

In your brain, a forthright eulogy

I am but a sinner here

My faults are underlined

I have but to hold you near

To cleanse the sins of time

[Pre-Chorus]

I have known you all too well

I have shown you all too well

I have thrilled you all too well

I have filled you

With the sense of

What you need to

[Chorus]

Speak up

Calling my name out

Break up

The shattering of doubt

This is where you start

With nails run through your heart

Leave the name burned in the brain

Leave your mark

[Verse 2]

Find it, blind it with your light

Or curse to be alive

Will it, kill it in your night

Commit yourself to thrive

You are but a sinner here

Each breath is now your crime

You have but to shed a tear

To wash away the time

[Pre-Chorus]

I have known you all too well

I have shown you all too well

I have thrilled you all too well

I have filled you

With the sense of

What you need to

[Chorus]

Speak up

Calling my name out

Break up

The shattering of doubt

This is where you start

With nails run through your heart

Leave the name burned in the brain

Leave your mark

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]

Give me your principles, values, and hope

Or I'll take them away

Not so convincible if you can't cope

Or rise to the day

Worn out the morals that lit up the path

Now gone to the dark

Frayed are the laurels igniting the wrath

They left to the mark

Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in night

Wrap me in indestructible light

[Bridge 2]

Way down the road, it's better

Believe me

Way down the road, it's gone

(Gone, gone, yeah, yeah)

Carry the load, it's harder

Believe me

Carry it to your dawn

(Never to follow you)

[Outro]

Way down the road, it's better

Believe me

Way down the road, it's gone

(Gone, gone, yeah, yeah)

Carry the load, it's harder

Believe me

Carry the lightning rod

(Lightning rod

Never to follow you)

Way down the road, it's better

Believe me

Way down the road, it's gone

Gone, gone, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Carry the load, it's harder

Believe me

Carry it to...
