The Man the Devil Feared

Sanoitukset

THE MAN THE DEVIL FEARED I've walked through hell with a broken heart, Watched my whole world fall apart. I've cried in silence, hidden the pain, Wondered if I'd ever feel whole again. But somewhere deep beneath these scars, There's still a fire, there's still a spark. And even when I lose my way, There's a voice inside that says… Not today. [Verse 1 — Clean Guitar Building Slowly] I've been fighting battles no one sees, Wearing a smile while I'm down on my knees. I've lost my faith, I've lost my ground, Felt like the darkness was dragging me down. I've watched the people I love drift away, Had a thousand things I couldn't say. But every tear that fell at night Was another reason to stand and fight. [Pre-Chorus — Drums Begin to Build] You can break my bones, you can shake my soul, You can take everything I used to know. But there's one thing you'll never understand… You can't destroy a man who's learned to stand! [Chorus — FULL DISTORTED GUITARS, POWERFUL VOCALS] I'M STILL STANDING! I'M STILL ALIVE! I've been through hell, but I survived! You knocked me down, but I rose again, Turned every scar into strength within! LET THE SKY FALL! LET THE HEAVENS CRY! I've faced my demons, looked them in the eye! You can own the darkness, you can bring the pain, BUT I'LL RISE FROM THE ASHES AGAIN! I'm still breathing! I'm still here! I've turned my suffering into something you fear! [Verse 2 — Heavy Riffs, Raw Vocals] The Devil came knocking, said, "Why won't you break? How much more suffering can one man take?" I looked him dead in the eyes that night, With a shattered heart and a fading light. I said, "You should've finished what you started, Before you left this broken-hearted. Every time you thought I'd fall, I found the strength to face it all." I've buried dreams, I've swallowed pride, Fought wars that nearly killed me inside. But I'm done living in yesterday, I'm taking back my life today! [Pre-Chorus — Rising Vocals, Building Drums] You can throw your worst, I'll take the blow, I've walked through fires you'll never know. I'm not the man I was before… I'M STRONGER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE! [Chorus — Huge, Anthemic Rock] I'M STILL STANDING! I'M STILL ALIVE! I've been through hell, but I survived! You knocked me down, but I rose again, Turned every scar into strength within! LET THE SKY FALL! LET THE HEAVENS CRY! I've faced my demons, looked them in the eye! You can own the darkness, you can bring the pain, BUT I'LL RISE FROM THE ASHES AGAIN! I'm still breathing! I'm still here! I've turned my suffering into something you fear! [Bridge — Guitar Drops Out, Emotional Spoken Vocal] And the Devil asked me one last time… "Why do you keep getting back up every time I knock you down?" I looked at him… With tears in my eyes… And fire in my heart. "Because you never understood me. You thought the pain would finish me. You thought the darkness would swallow me. You thought I'd give up on myself… BUT YOU WERE WRONG." You didn't break me. YOU BUILT ME. [Guitar Solo — Slow, Crying Notes Building Into a Massive Lead] [Final Chorus — Explosive Drums, Gang Vocals, Full Power] I'M STILL STANDING! HEAR MY CRY! I'M THE REASON I REFUSED TO DIE! Every scar tells a story of pain, Every fall made me rise again! LET THE WORLD KNOW! LET THE WHOLE SKY BURN! I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE, NOTHING LEFT TO LEARN! You can own the darkness, but you'll never own me, I'M THE MAN I FOUGHT SO HARD TO BE! I'M STILL BREATHING! I'M STILL HERE! I FACED MY HELL AND CONQUERED MY FEAR! [Outro — Heavy Guitars Ring Out, Then Fade to Piano] The Devil went quiet… As he watched me walk away. He hadn't broken me. He'd built the man he was afraid of. And this time… I'm not looking back. [Final Guitar Chord — Silence]
