01. Never Back Down - Lyrics:
From here all the world is a raging fire
I know You can see what I see
Well they'll have their way
Everyone breaking down
If we turn and we flee
All I know is I'd rather die than believe a lie (Live a lie)
I cannot follow the blind
[Chorus]:
We'll never back down
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming
As we press on
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming to life
These voices are making me lose my mind
I know You can hear what I hear
Well they'll have their way
Everyone's heart bled dry
If we turn and we flee
All I know is I'd rather die than believe a lie (Live a lie)
I cannot follow the blind
We'll never back down
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming
As we press on
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming to life
When darkness arrives
I cower and hide
But You found a way to pull me out
They come in the night
To take what is rightfully in the hands of every son and daughter
We'll never back down
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming
As we press on
We will not relent
Now or never, till the day that we dreamed of
I see it coming to life.
02. Break The World - Lyrics:
You'd never know this was an empty smile
But then my days have felt like this for quite a while
But no one seems to see it,
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by, by and by
I'm trying every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and
All these lies, that whisper and won't go away
[Chorus]:
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
A thousand days fell here in black and white
Longing looking hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sign
By and by
I'm trying every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and
All these lies, that whisper and won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give me one way out
Out through my Christ, the light of the sky
You've washed them away and now you've given me life
You've shown me the reason
The story in the night
I'm so undeserving now I don't have to hide
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound.
03. Where I Belong - Lyrics:
As dark as the night
A terrible sight
I wandered far away from home
No way to escape
Though try as I might
But you found a gate to my surprise
I never knew you were there
Just wanting to help me up when the road got hard
I'll never go there again
Discovering where you are, where you are
[Chorus]:
I tried to carry the ache alone
Thought I could brave the cold (woah, woah oh)
I found that I couldn't change the old
Never could break the mold (woah, woah oh)
So take my slow beating heart
You are where I belong
A sleight of the hand
A change in the plan
I'd had it nearly figured out
Could not understand
Was I at the end?
I'd only sought to play pretend
I never knew you were there
Just wanting to help me up when the road got hard
I'll never go there again
Discovering where you are, where you are
I tried to carry the ache alone
Thought I could brave the cold (woah, woah oh)
I found that I couldn't change the old
Never could break the mold (woah, woah oh)
So take my slow beating heart
You are where I belong
You are, You are the only one
You are, You are the only
You are, You are the only one
You are, You are the only
The only
I tried to carry the ache alone
Thought I could brave the cold (woah, woah oh)
I found that I couldn't change the old
Never could break the mold (woah, woah oh)
So take my slow beating heart
You are where I belong.
04. Lights We Burn - Lyrics:
She took a walk and kept her head to the ground
And everything around her, it was tumbling down
The veil she hid behind was not as safe and sound as she thought
You were there while she was starting to drown
She disappeared as all the waters abounded
Standing by, you watched and fed your hurt with a frown
Well bravo, bravo
You say that you loved her
And in a sense, well that's more than ordinary
I'm begging to differ
[Chorus]:
(Woah) The lights we burn have all faded out
(Woah) Is anybody seeing this?
(Woah) We've left the dead behind in the crowd
We're not the enemy
We got the remedy
Well look around you, tell me what do they need?
You stand surrounded by a world on its knees
The love that only God could deed gets lost in the pride of our lives
And He cries
You say that you loved them
And in a sense, that's more than ordinary
I'm begging to differ
(Woah) The lights we burn have all faded out
(Woah) Is anybody seeing this?
(Woah) We've left the dead behind in the crowd
We're not the enemy
We got the remedy
There's someone alone in the dark
(Show me a life not dark and broken)
And we have the light in our hearts
(Give me a life not dark and broken)
So let it out, let it out, let it radiate
Let the world see the light we held so far away
It gives them life, gives them peace beyond the world of man
So let it out, let the world become alive again
The lights we burn have all faded out
Is anybody seeing this?
We've left the dead behind in the crowd
(Woah) The lights we burn have all faded out
(Woah) Is anybody seeing this?
(Woah) We've left the dead behind in the crowd
We're not the enemy
We got the remedy
The lights we burn have all faded out
Is anybody seeing this?
We've left the dead behind in the crowd
We're not the enemy
We got the remedy
We're not the enemy
We got the remedy.
05. Surrender - Lyrics:
I am tired, I am broken
Unsure at every turn
Though you told me where to go
I've lost the road!
Been a while since I have heard you
And doubts are creeping in
How can I continue walking on my own?
I need to know you're here with me
[Chorus]:
Cause I become a desperate soul
When your unfailing love feels far
I need to know you won't let go
Through it all!
You can have my broken heart
Everything that's left in me
And I will surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)
Your promises feel distant
Though I've followed them this far
But it's there left to hold on to
When you're gone?
And it's hard to keep on breathing
As the question tears my heart
What if I am left to fight this on my own?
I need to know you're here with me!
Cause I become a desperate soul
When your unfailing love feels far
I need to know you won't let go
Through it all!
You can have my broken heart
Everything that's left in me
And I will surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)!
I've seen the way you love me
I've heard the things you say
I've felt the way you hold me in your arms!
I've seen the way you love me
I've heard the things you say
I've felt the way you hold me in your arms!
Cause I become a desperate soul
When your unfailing love feels far
I need to know you won't let go
Through it all!
You can have my broken heart
Everything that's left in me
And I will surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)
Surrender (surrender)!
And your love is overwhelming!
06. Fear And Shadows - Lyrics:
I see the shadows they're towering
I close my eyes and pass them by
I feel the fear and I'm cowering
Wish I could find a way to rise
I know it's underneath the skin
It's just beneath the surface
[Chorus]:
I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake Am I alive
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me behind
But you are the light
You are the light
I feel the panic dividing me
The worry grows nowhere to go
And I hold my breath down inside of me
Wish I could find this heart of mine
I know it's underneath the skin
It's just beneath the surface
I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake Am I alive
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me behind
But you are the light
You are the light
I see where you are
In the distance
Too far from myself
You're daring to cross
Just to hold me
And you love me love me
Carry me home in the night
I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake Am I alive
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me behind
But you are the light
You are the light.
07. In The Dark - Lyrics:
I don't wanna walk around the maze
(The clouds hang above)
I can't find the way out
I don't wanna wander here for days
(They darken the sun)
I can't find the way out
The shadows surround me
I've never been here before
I need you to save me
Feels like I'm falling apart
Pain led the way here
Left me for dead in the dark
I can feel the ground begin to cave
(The rain start to fall)
Could you show the way out?
I know I'm gonna fall as it decays
(I'll drown in the flood)
Could you make the way out?
The shadows surround me
I've never been here before
[Chorus]:
I need you to save me
Feels like I'm falling apart
Pain led the way here
Left me for dead in the dark
Without you I'm faded
Fear found its way to the heart
I need you to save me
Don't let me die in the dark
In the dark
Save me, save me
I need you to save me
Feels like I'm falling apart
Pain led the way here
Left me for dead in the dark
Without you I'm faded
Fear found its way to the heart
I need you to save me
Don't let me die in the dark
In the dark.
08. Light It Up - Lyrics:
I must confess, the weight of this is overwhelming
With things unsaid they were walking the other way
They have defined this heart of mine by darker shadings
When they can't see me at all
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
[Chorus]:
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down
They can't begin to comprehend what's lying under
They break the skin as they're walking the other way
Let's take the wall, we'll make it fall and crumble
We're gonna burn it down
I know what separates us all
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
We'll take their wall to the ground and burn
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
We'll burn it down
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
Burn it down
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down.
09. Love Me Now - Lyrics:
Here I am where no one found the way in
Brick and stone, this place in me
The cold has taught to close my heart or suffer
But lost at home is strange to me
And I feel so alone
And I need someone
Are you out there?
If you hear me, listen close, I'm sorry
I never meant to lock you out
[Chorus]:
I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
We are not the wasted ones
The lovely thrown away where no one sees
We are not our loaded guns that tremble
We are not the hurt that we see
Though we feel so alone
We'll never be so alone
Are you out there?
So hold on tight
Don't lose your fight
Remember Jesus Christ
He felt your pain
I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
I've never felt so free in all my life
Cause you were there for me in all those empty nights
Is everyone so blind?
It just seems so right
Cause you are all I find
I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now?
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
10. Cover Your Own - Lyrics:
I never wanted a cover up
I only needed you here
I've lived in search of a place I belong
Where the cold rain will disappear
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
[Chorus]:
I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me
I heard deep down in my darkest hour
Somebody's waiting for me
Until now, I'd thought it a waste of time
Filling holes left where you should be
There's somebody out there
And they're calling out
Maybe I should go out there
I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me
I'm letting go of all the memories
I never made in my life with you
I'll let these walls come down in front of me
I've found a love, I've found a love
And there's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about the way it moves
I'll never know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I had the loneliest heartbeat
I found a home
A Father to love me.

08. Light It Up - Lyrics:
I must confess, the weight of this is overwhelming
With things unsaid they were walking the other way
They have defined this heart of mine by darker shadings
When they can't see me at all
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
[Chorus]:
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down
They can't begin to comprehend what's lying under
They break the skin as they're walking the other way
Let's take the wall, we'll make it fall and crumble
We're gonna burn it down
I know what separates us all
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
We'll take their wall to the ground and burn
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
We'll burn it down
We'll make it fall
We'll make it fall
Burn it down
So light it up, light it up, burn it to the ground
Or dig it up, dig it up, never knowing
The night has come, night has come for the overrun
And right here, we're gonna burn it down.

And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?
10. Cover Your Own - Lyrics:
I never wanted a cover up
I only needed you here
I've lived in search of a place I belong
Where the cold rain will disappear
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
[Chorus]:
I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me
I heard deep down in my darkest hour
Somebody's waiting for me
Until now, I'd thought it a waste of time
Filling holes left where you should be
There's somebody out there
And they're calling out
Maybe I should go out there
I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me
I'm letting go of all the memories
I never made in my life with you
I'll let these walls come down in front of me
I've found a love, I've found a love
And there's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about the way it moves
I'll never know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I had the loneliest heartbeat
I found a home
A Father to love me.
