Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dante got a name like fire

But I walk through cold machine

Boot prints in the mud, ten years

Still got blood on my sleeves

Heart took shots in the dark

Now it flinches at a door

I smile like I’m fine, baby

Then I bite down hard on more

[Pre-Chorus]

They kicked me when I fell

Tried to make me stay down

But my bones still know the rhythm

When the whole world shook around

[Chorus]

Devil can't, devil can't

Take what still remains

Devil can't, devil can't

Break these marked-up veins

Devil can't, devil can't

I been bruised and burned

Devil can't, devil can't

I still turn, I still turn

[Verse 2]

Seen more flags than church windows

Seen more graves than summer rain

Got a scar from the backstab

Got a name for every pain

Night comes with the old ghosts

They sit heavy in the room

I keep my boots by the mattress

So I can march right out the gloom

[Pre-Chorus]

They kicked me when I fell

Tried to make me stay down

But my bones still know the rhythm

When the whole world shook around

[Chorus]

Devil can't, devil can't

Take what still remains

Devil can't, devil can't

Break these marked-up veins

Devil can't, devil can't

I been bruised and burned

Devil can't, devil can't

I still turn, I still turn

[Bridge]

I was lost in the wreckage

I was split at the seam

But a broken man still stands up

If you leave him room to breathe

Let the chain swing, let it rattle

Let the shame fall to the floor

I ain't built for your ending

I’m the one who keeps on score

[Final Chorus]

Devil can't, devil can't

Take what still remains

Devil can't, devil can't

Break these marked-up veins

Devil can't, devil can't

I been bruised and burned

Devil can't, devil can't

I still turn, I still turn
