[Instrumental Intro: Mark Tremonti]

[Verse 1]

A star fades in space

As a candle flickers

Burning out of trace

Live our lives with grace

As our candles flicker

Burning out of trace

Burning out of trace

[Chorus]

Choose your words, choose them wise

For they will lead to your demise

Take my life, take my faith

To stop the tears that run down your face

[Verse 2]

But I'm happy here

As the plot grows thicker

Passing with the years

Live my life with fear

As our leaders bicker

Passing with the years

Passing with the years

[Chorus]

Choose your words, choose them wise

For they will lead to your demise

Take my life, take my faith

To stop the tears that run down your face

[Guitar Solo: Eric Friedman]

[Chorus]

Choose your words, choose them wise

For they will lead to your demise

Take my life, take my faith

To stop the tears that run down...

[Outro]

...Your face

Your face!
