(Clean bass guitar intro)
(Verse):
Up from the hard scrabble
I arose with strength
Mindset fully capable
To keep oppression at arm’s length
I will stand before the flood
And rage against the night
I will bathe in the blood
And bring the furious fight
( pre chorus):
Walk through the fire inside
And come out stronger on the other side
( chorus):
Sometimes the meaning of life
Is found on the edge of a knife
Epitaph engraved in stone
With every broken bone
( verse):
The determination and fortitude
To make things right again
A blazing heart I will exude
And you will know where I’ve been
My truth and honor may remain unspoken
But I will persevere
and my integrity will stay
fucking unbroken
( pre chorus ):
Walk through the fire inside
And come out stronger on the other side
(Chorus):
Sometimes the meaning of life
Is found on the edge of a knife
Epitaph engraved in stone
With every broken bone
(Brutal guitar breakdown):
(Bridge):
And in the valley of death
My head held proud
With my final breath
I will scream out loud
(Pre chorus):
Walk through the fire inside
And come out stronger on the other side
( chorus):
Sometimes the meaning of life
Is found on the edge of a knife
Epitaph engraved in stone
With every broken bone
My truth and honor may remain unspoken
But I will persevere
and my integrity will stay
fucking unbroken
Engraved in stone
(Slow chugging guitar outro):
