FIT FOR A KING LYRICS

1. Creation

[Instrumental]

2. Warpath

You can break me down
You can bury me alive
I will always stand for this
And what good are my hands if they don't fight back?
I refuse to let this die
This is my everlasting purpose
I will be the end of your lies

You call me out
Expecting me to stand still
You hold me down
Thinking I will give in to you
You may live your life in the shadow of doubt
But that's not where I will lay my head to rest

They say their words
But nothing breaks the surface
(Yet you say you believe)
We lay our heads down
For something empty
(We must be the enemy)

My words may cut like daggers
But I wasn't put here to keep my thoughts inside
I am the enemy
I am the enemy
I am the enemy!

I won't hide behind the mask
You've made for me
I won't be shut down
By the sound of desperate pleas
I won't be brought to my knees by the ones who say I'm worthless
I will never back down
I am the enemy

They say their words
But nothing breaks the surface
(Yet you say you believe)
We lay our heads down
For something empty
(We must be the enemy)
They say their words
But nothing breaks the surface
(Yet you say you believe)
We lay our heads down
For something empty
(We must be the enemy)

I am the enemy
No apologies

3. Hollow King (Sound Of The End)

You've got blood on your hands
You've turned away and the guilt is flowing through your veins
Now they're left for dead and you can't replace the hole that you've made
Burned by deceit
Your hollow king will meet his end
Meet your end
Your king will meet his end

I will not wait for the flame to consume me
I won't let hate flow through these bones
I never thought that I would end up like this
Where I'd be meeting you in the end
Standing face to face and eye to eye
With the one who took everything

Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in

Faithless
This is the price that you pay
You're the king of your own desctruction
Now you're caught in my web
Your God can't hear your cries
Like he ever did
You ventured out to save the one you love
You should have known
This is the price that you pay

I never thought that I would end up like this
Where I'd be trapped inside this maze
Standing face to face and eye to eye
With the man who abandoned everything

Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in
Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in

This is the sound of the end
This is the sound of the end

4. Broken Fame

(These words, these words
They are the only ones that I come back to
And with these hands
We'll move the world just to find you)

Here's to a life of a broken fame (caught in the motions)
You've been letting the world decide your fate
A weak man, in a stronghold
Consumed in all the things he needs
But it's never enough
It's never enough it seems

Some may call it the high life
But you took the easy way out
You had your moment to shine
But now it's wasted
You've done nothing but waste it

We've gotta find a way to show you how
To pull these words from the pages
To make this world your own

These words, these words
They are the only ones that I come back to
And with these hands
We'll move the world just to find you

You cannot find a way
When all you do is aim to accumulate
Reaching out for everything but the answers
We have gone astray
Here you are again
Struggling to stand on your own two feet
Why is this happening?
Your ambitions have made you blind
Just open up
It's not too late

We are the authors of our own demise
Feeding greed will only leave us dead inside

I stood my ground and I pushed you out
But I still couldn't find
What made me whole
What broke the mold
And without you
I'll never know
Without you I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know
Without you I'll never know

These words, these words
They are the only ones that I come back to
And with these hands
We'll move the world just to find you
These words, these words (just to find you)
These words, these words (just to find you)
And with these hands
We'll move the world just to find you

5. Bitter End

I am broken by my birthright
And made to die by design
I was put on this earth to fail you
Why do you put your faith in me?
I will let you down
I will give you a reason to hate me
I will give you a reason to despise me

I never thought I'd see the day 
When I'd see my maker face to face
Every sin accounted for
Every bad decision I ever made
Little did I know this would all lead up to this
This is my time
This is my breaking point

I'll pay my price
Just please don't let me miss
My peace of mind
I'll even die for this
God ease my soul
And don't let me forget
That there is nothing forcing me to a bitter end

I can't stand another day in my head
All the pain
All the lies
It's wearing me thin
Why can't I just follow you?
Oh God, it's taking over

This is a takeover
My eyes have learned to lust
And my mind was molded to betray you
I've let this spite fill my lungs
Fill my lungs
This is my breaking point
This is my breaking point
This will not be my bitter end

I'll pay my price
Just please don't let me miss
My peace of mind
I'll even die for this
God ease my soul
And don't let me forget
That there is nothing forcing me to a bitter end
I'll pay my price
Just please don't let me miss
My peace of mind
I'll even die for this
God ease my soul
And don't let me forget
That there is nothing forcing me to a bitter end
Bitter end
Bitter end
This is my breaking point

6. Skin & Bones

Forgive me now
For I have sold my soul for gold
Washed up on shore
A thousand miles away from home
Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones, alone
I find the answers to questions I have never known

Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way

Running from time to try and keep myself alive
Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside
Now as I begin to let this in
I must keep the best in mind
And remove myself from the things that are wasting my time

I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
I know these words won't hold any weight
But please don't turn away
Don't turn away from me

Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?

Forgive me now
For I have sold my soul for gold
Washed up on shore
A thousand miles away from home
Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones, alone
I find the answers to questions I have never known

7. The Resistance

I will make sure that you see my face in the crowd
Locking in on my stare that will cut through your wretched ways
You will never take us alive
Scum of the earth will rise to the top and give us all "facts"
That are manufactured
And without pursuing knowledge on their own
We embrace the plans of the dead
(You all need to wake up)

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I'm not a part of you
You've taken everything
I won't be the one that stands in the darkness
Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I'm not a part of you
You've taken everything
I won't be the one that stands in the darkness

We will be a generation that makes a stand
Against the ones who call themselves kings
They will take away everything
Before we have a chance to speak
We all need to wake up
They lead us in
Like sheep to the slaughter
We all need to wake up
We all need to wake up

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I'm not a part of you
You've taken everything
I won't be the one that stands in the darkness

These words go out to those
Who sit on their throne of lies
May they not be taken lightly
Your existence disgusts me!
We will be the resistance

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I'm not a part of you
You've taken everything
I won't be the one that stands in the darkness
Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I'm not a part of you
You've taken everything
I won't be the one that stands in the darkness

8. Identity

I thought you left me to die
These wounds are getting deeper
I've been betrayed and left behind
Poison filling my mind
Are you even listening?

This world has taken me down
Things aren't what I had imagined them to be
There's no easy way out
I need your guidance

We see the cracks begin to fade
Fade away, into the safest place
Where I let these demons remain
Nobody said these bones wouldn't break
Along the way, along the way

To walk this path alone
It means death for us all
This road we've created in our minds 
Leads to nothing but pain
We are our burden
(I will not play the victim)

In the primes of our lives we turn a blind eye
To the burdens that we bring on ourselves
Mistaking fortune for warnings
I brought this on myself

Remove yourself
Release yourself from the things that
Hold these chains in place
Remove yourself
Release yourself and break away, break away
Remove these chains from me
And you'll see them all fade away, fade away

Fade away into the safest place
Where I let these demons remain
Nobody said these bones wouldn't break
Along the way, along the way

We are the burden
We are the burden

9. The Lioness

All the walls are coming down
I'm exposed, I'm alive
This is my chance to breathe
All my thoughts revealed
What's happening? 
I have sold my soul
Just for a taste of satisfaction
I breathe the toxins in
For too long I've been doing a delicate walk with the devil
Everyone around me thinks I have it all together
If they only knew the words that I've been twisting
If they have only seen what I've become
They would be terrified
I traded it all just to have something I could never hold
Concerned with things that drag me down to a level I've never known

These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Mistakes of the past are haunting me
And I've given myself away

Open wide, and let the flames in
No one will ever know
This is between you and me
I will lead you to happiness
I will bring you the gift of death

(I will give you the gift of death)

I've seen the darkest things a man can see
These demons that once taunted
Have now become a part of me
And now my hope is gone
Pull at my limbs and drag me through the gates
Welcome to the abyss
A place that you created
A place you won't be missed
Falling short of what I'm wanting to be
Falling into my own extinction

These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Mistakes of the past are haunting me
And I've given myself away
These are dark times
These are dark times
These are dark times
These are dark times...

10. Eyes To See

It's all a matter of time until I find you again
My life is such a waste
Going back and forth
Through the thoughts in my head
I need to get a grip
How can I believe a single word they're saying?
I've been here a thousand times

Show something
I just need a sign
Give me something real
Show something
I just need a sign
Give me something for my eyes to see

And without a voice you speak to me
And open my eyes to what it means to believe
No more questioning

I ran away from everything I need
You kept your word and stood right next to me
I ran away from everything I need
I ran away!
(Away from everything)

Back and forth
The struggle for my soul continues
This war will never be won
As long as I question my existence
When will I learn?
When will I learn?

Worn down by my self-inflicted struggle
I need to let go
If seeing is believing
Then give me eyes to see

I ran away from everything I need
You kept your word and stood right next to me
I ran away from everything I need
I ran away!
(Away from everything)
I ran away from everything I need
You kept your word and stood right next to me
I ran away from everything I need
I ran away!
(Away from everything)

11. Destruction

You backstabber
You spit filth from your mouth
Spitting fire on fire and still claiming devout
You're no better than the demons that are filling your head
You're a medium for malice
Now your destruction begins

I have held my tongue for long enough
Your hate will catch up with
You in the end
Go ahead and write us off
Our fate is already sealed
You don't speak peace
You just salt the wound
You just salt the wound
Hide behind your words
Because who will save you now?

You've spent your lives writing us off
But this time I'll turn it around
Piece by piece your day will come
My destruction lives
My destruction lives

Damnation brings no fear
To the ones inside the gates
The lies you feed the world
You're at the end of your road
We've never hear the end of this
And you'll never get away with this
You backstabber!
You backstabber!
Just look what you've done
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives
My Destruction lives...
