[Verse 1]
I was choking on the poison in my veins
Anger like a chain that carved my name
Glass on the floor
Fists through the door
Daring the sky to start a war
Every promise that I made
I broke it
Every holy word
Yeah
I joked it
Middle of the night
I cursed the air
But the darkness never fought fair
[Chorus]
Blood on my boots
Hands in the fire
You pulled me out of my own burning pyre
I was screaming at the clouds till my throat ran dry
You were there in the smoke
Didn’t pass me by
I was lost in the roar of my own wild mind
Then You cut through the noise
Left the grave behind
Now I stand on the rock where Your mercy poured
I was dead in the dirt
Til I was saved by the Lord
[Verse 2]
I heard You in the sirens and the crash
Headlights
Steel
Twisted metal
Glass
Thought it was the end
Felt my heartbeat slow
But I woke up breathing
Wrapped in clothes
Every scar on my skin tells the story
Of a fool who got caught in Your glory
Laid my rage like a weapon at Your feet
Found a strength that starts in my defeat
[Chorus]
Blood on my boots
Hands in the fire
You pulled me out of my own burning pyre
I was screaming at the clouds till my throat ran dry
You were there in the smoke
Didn’t pass me by
I was lost in the roar of my own wild mind
Then You cut through the noise
Left the grave behind
Now I stand on the rock where Your mercy poured
I was dead in the dirt
Til I was saved by the Lord
[Bridge]
I tried to fight You off
Tried to spit in Your face
But You broke my chains
Right in that place (right in that place)
If grace is a hammer
Let it hit me again
Break what I was
Build me as a friend
[Chorus]
Blood on my boots
Hands in the fire
You pulled me out of my own burning pyre
I was screaming at the clouds till my throat ran dry
You were there in the smoke
Didn’t pass me by
I was lost in the roar of my own wild mind
Then You cut through the noise
Left the grave behind
Now I roar with a heart that Your love restored
I was dead in the dirt
Til I was saved by the Lord
