Hell and Back

[Intro]
(Yeah)
I’ve been through hell
And back
Through hell
And back (back, back)
[Verse 1]
Boot prints burned in the path behind
Ash in my lungs, tasted every lie
Hands in the dirt, teeth on the wire
Buried alive in my own desire
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step was a drag through fire
Every breath just feeding the pyre
[Chorus]
I’ve been through hell and back
On the way through the ground I cracked
But I clawed my way, clawed my way
Found my way back up again
Yeah, I’ve been through hell and back
Saw my name in the smoke turn black
But I scraped my name, scraped my name
Into stone and rose again
[Verse 2]
Cold steel sleep on a concrete floor
Friends turned ghosts, then ghosts turned more
Stared down the dark till it blinked first
Drank my fear till it quenched my thirst
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar is a crooked map
Every fall was a lifeline snap
[Chorus]
I’ve been through hell and back
On the way through the ground I cracked
But I clawed my way, clawed my way
Found my way back up again
Yeah, I’ve been through hell and back
Heard the silence begin to laugh
But I screamed my name, screamed my name
Till the echo pulled me in
[Bridge]
[Breakdown, drums and bass hit, crowd chants]
HELL
AND BACK
HELL
AND BACK
[Screamed]
On my knees in the pit, still breathing
On my teeth in the dirt, still bleeding
If the world wants war, I’m ready
Heart like a hammer, hands stay steady (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ve been through hell and back
On the way through the ground I cracked
But I clawed my way, clawed my way
Found my way back up again
Yeah, I’ve been through hell and back
You can watch when the sky turns black
’Cause I’ll break that night, break that night
And come screaming up again (again)
[Outro]
(HELL AND BACK)
I’ve been through hell
(HELL AND BACK)
And I’m never going down like that again

rock, Aggressive alt-rock with snarling male vocals; drop-tuned guitars chugging over a pounding, halftime-meets-double-time drum groove. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted riffs and shouted gang responses; chorus explodes with wide power chords, octave leads, and layered chant vocals. Bridge dives into a breakdown with dissonant stabs and raw screams, then surges back into the final hook at full intensity., male vocals
