[Verse 1]
I woke in ash and rain
With your name on my blade
The mirror in my chest
Showed a face I could not save
Black blood on the floor
From the things I used to be
I locked the cell inside
Then I broke the only key
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that prayer in the hall
It is shaking in my bones
Every chain I carried here
Turns to dust when I say no
[Chorus]
Kill my demons, kill my demons
I won't let them wear my skin
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Let the war begin within
One more cut
One more cry
I won't die here twice
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Till the dark one learns my name
[Verse 2]
At the gate of dawn
I could taste the smoke again
Old fear in my mouth
Like a coin from a dead man's hand
Your shadow called me back
From the edge of that red field
I heard the child I was
Say, "Don't bend, don't kneel"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that choir in the throat
Of the night I buried deep
Every beast I fed for years
Wakes up just to watch me leave
[Chorus]
Kill my demons, kill my demons
I won't let them wear my skin
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Let the war begin within
One more cut
One more cry
I won't die here twice
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Till the dark one learns my name
[Bridge]
Bare feet on broken stone
I face the thing I made
It borrowed all my rage
Then wore my face like a frame
I don't need holy light
I need a steady hand
So I drive the night in half
And pull the blade back again
[Final Chorus]
Kill my demons, kill my demons
I won't let them wear my skin
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Let the war begin within
One more cut
One more cry
I won't die here twice
Kill my demons, kill my demons
Till the dark one learns my name
[Outro]
If I fall, I fall awake
If I bleed, I bleed for change
Kill my demons, kill my demons
I am not their cage
