Legendary

(Legendary) Oh
(Legendary)

Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

My heart bleeds adrenaline
The fire I breathe is where I live
Say my name, incredible
Say my name, an animal
One life to live
I never give up, I never give in

Some people wanna turn and run (run)
But the strong rise under the gun

Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop

Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standin' now (never falling)
Destiny is callin' me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary

Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary

Fly high or will I fall?
Legends made when faith is strong

Say my name, No time to plead
Say my name, I'm conquering
While I'm alive, I'll push through the pain, I'll run for the prize

Some people wanna turn and run (run)
But the strong rise under the gun

Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop

Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standin' now (never falling)
Destiny is callin' me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everyday I'll fight to be
Legendary

Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary

Wings are made to fly, made to fly (made to fly)
Fears are born to die, born to die (born to die)
Pushin' through the pain, through the pain (through the pain)
Pushin' through, breakin' through
Whatever it takes, what I gotta do
Givin' my all, givin' all that I've got
Never will stop 'til I get to the top

Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop

Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standin' now (never falling)
Destiny is callin' me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me) (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
Still the one that's standin' now (never falling) (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
Destiny is callin' me
Go down in history (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
Every day I'll fight to be (oh oh oh)
Legendary

You Ain't Ready

You ain't ready
You ain't ready
You ain't ready
You ain't, you ain't ready for me

A little bit of love, a little bit of grief
A little bit of pain and misery
A little bit of strife in life
I fight and I survive
My back is getting pushed up against the wall
I'm never giving up, I give my all
I'm never looking back, attack
No fear, it's in the past

Stand up, stand up
Stand up, you ain't ready for me

Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not looking for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights 'til he's free
You ain't ready for me

You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me

A little bit of hope, a little bit of hurt
A little bit of "Get what you deserve"
Dragging through the mud and blood
Get up, I've had enough
Am I getting through? Time to come alive
Do you wanna live before you die?
Hold on to your truth till you break through
You'll never lose

Stand up, stand up
Stand up, you ain't ready for me

Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not looking for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights 'til he's free
You ain't ready for me

You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me

Stand up, stand up
Facing the lions
Stand up
You ain't ready for, you ain't ready for
Stand up, stand up
Facing the fire
Stand up
You ain't ready for, you ain't ready for me
You ain't ready for me

Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not looking for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights 'til he's free
You ain't ready for me

You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me

Victorious

I hear 'em talk to me
But they're not listening
The words are kerosene
They don't know who I am
They'd never understand
What it's like to be me
I don't wanna be here
So stuck inside
Tell me, how long have I been here?
I'm losing track of time

In all this loneliness and all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way

High above it all (above it all)
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've grown (far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (face it all)
Victorious, victorious

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Can't change this overnight
Though Heaven knows I've tried
Here I go again
I need a savior now
Someone to break me out
Who's been the place I've been
Don't wanna be forgotten
When I'm dead and gone
I just wanna be the one who
Got up and came back strong

High above it all (above it all)
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've grown (far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (face it all)
Victorious, victorious

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Help me 'cause I'm falling
When I can't sleep, but I'm holding on
Can't face this night alone

In all this loneliness and all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay
Tell me there's a way

High above it all (above it all)
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've grown (far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (face it all)
Victorious, victorious

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Save Me

This is the place that no one sees
I don't like to show
(I can't help it)
This is the darkness over me
It's just the world I know
(I can't stand it)

Reachin' for the light
Reachin' from inside
Help me tonight

I'm closer to the edge
Tonight I'm standin' on the ledge
So why won't you reach out your hand
To save (to save), to save me
Tonight I'm damaged if you dare
Tonight it feels like no one cares
So why can't I come up for air?
Just save (just save), just save me

What are you waitin' for?
Someone save me

Peel back the skin exposed to you
Take pleasure in the pain
(Please, don't stop it)
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
It ain't easy to open up this way
(I can't help it)

Reachin' for the light
Reachin' from inside
Help me tonight

I'm closer to the edge
Tonight I'm standing on the ledge
So why won't you reach out your hand
To save (to save), to save me?
Tonight I'm damaged if you dare
Tonight it feels like no one cares
So why can't I come up for air?
Just save (just save), just save me

What are you waiting for?
Someone save me

Reachin' for the light
Reachin' from inside
Help me tonight

I'm closer to the edge
Tonight I'm standin' on the ledge
So why won't you reach out your hand
To save, to save me?
Tonight I'm damaged if you dare
Tonight it feels like no one cares
So why can't I come up for air?
Just save (just save), just save me

Tonight I'm closer to the edge
Tonight I'm standin' on the ledge
So why won't you reach out your hand
To save (to save), to save me

What are you waitin' for?
Someone save me

Rise up

Rise up, rise up
Just like a fire
Rise up, rise up

No way
Never gonna bow to your hate
Can't pull me under
Stand proud
Say it like you mean it
Shout out
With voices like thunder

Slap in the face
You put me away
I'll stay in the game
I'll finish the race
Give it my all
My heart and my soul
You can't control

Love's gonna be our battlecry
So hear me

Rise up, rise up
Just like a fighter
We will rise again
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
Burn until the end
No fear, no doubt tonight
I'm feeling so alive
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
We will rise (rise)
We will rise again

Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire
Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire

Day, night
The pendulum is swinging
Left, right
Our fate gets closer
Stand now
The enemy is knocking
Scream out
With voices like thunder

Cause I believe we are the free
I know who I am, can't take it from me
I will defend, never pretend
I won't give in

Love's gonna be our battlecry
So we will

Rise up, rise up
Just like a fighter
We will rise again
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
Burn until the end
No fear, no doubt tonight
I'm feeling so alive
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
We will rise (rise)
We will rise again

Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire
Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire

Rise up, rise up
Just like a fighter
We will rise again
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
Burn until the end
No fear, no doubt tonight
I'm feeling so alive
Rise up, rise up
We got the fire
We will rise (rise)
We will rise again

Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire
Rise up, rise up (rise up)
We got the fire

Terrify The Dark

No power on earth, no power in hell
Is gonna steal my peace
Ten thousand enemies, they will
End up on their knees

When I'm hopeless
I can know this
You're with me

Your light will terrify the dark
I call upon the name
That tears the night apart
My doubt will answer to your scars
And fear will have no place
No hold upon my heart

Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)
Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)

Where could I run, where could I hide
You're breaking in on me
Restore the ruins of my life
From rags to royalty

I can see you
I believe you
I trust you

Your light will terrify the dark
I call upon the name
That tears the night apart
My doubt will answer to your scars
And fear will have no place
No hold upon my heart

Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)
Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)

Break in on me
'Til all I see is you
Is you

Break in on me
Cuz all I need is you
Is you

Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)
Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify)

Your light will terrify the dark
I call upon the name
That tears the night apart
My doubt will answer to your scars
And fear will have no place
No hold upon my heart

Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)
Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)
No fear has a hold upon my heart
(Your light will terrify the dark)
Your light will terrify the dark
(Your light will terrify the dark)

Never Going Back

Can you hear me?
Never
Can you hear me?
Never
Can you hear me?

I used to be caged
Never stood my ground
I lived like your slave
Those days are over now

Oh no
You will never know me
Let go
You will never own me
No more
Like before
Never gonna be
Never gonna be yours

All my life
I'm never going back
I never say die
And I ain't starting yet
Tell no lies
I'm never going back
My back's against the wall
But I know who I am
Never go
Never goin' back

Never
Can you hear me?
Never

Like an angel of light
You pull me close again
Devil in a disguise
The teeth are sinking in

Oh no
You will never know me
Let go
You will never own me
No more
Like before
Never gonna be
Never gonna be yours

All my life
I'm never going back
I never say die
And I ain't starting yet
Tell no lies
I'm never going back
My back's against the wall
But I know who I am
Never go
Never goin' back

Oh no
You will never know me
Let go
You will never own me
No more
Like before
Never gonna be
Never gonna be yours

All my life
I'm never going back
I never say die
And I ain't starting yet
Tell no lies
I'm never going back
My back's against the wall
But I know who I am

All my life (Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
I'm never going back
I never say die (Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
And I ain't starting yet
Tell no lies (Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
I'm never going back
My back's against the wall (Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
But I know who I am
Never go
Never goin' back

Never go
Never goin' back

Never
Can you hear me?
Never
Can you hear me?

Reach

You were the only one to see
Secrets locked inside of me
You were the only one
So tell me where you've gone

I've lost a little more today
Nothing more you can take away
Can I believe you still
I need something real

No one ever wants to feel like this
No one ever wants to feel like this

Where are you
I can't find you
Broke in two
Left behind you
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
(I'm falling)
Promised me
You'd never leave me
I'm still here
Broke and bleeding
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
Reach for me

No one could ever get me more
Nothing could ever fix me more
Did I scare you away
Don't say I'll be okay

No one ever wants to feel like this

Where are you
I can't find you
Broke in two
Left behind you
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
(I'm falling)
Promised me
You'd never leave me
I'm still here
Broke and bleeding
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
Reach for me

No one ever wants to feel like this
No one ever wants to feel like this
No one ever wants to hurt like this
No one ever wants to hurt like this

Where are you
I can't find you
Broke in two
Left behind you
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
(I'm falling)
Promised me
You'd never leave me
I'm still here
Broke and bleeding
Reach for me
(Reach for me)
I'm falling deep
Reach for me

Nobody wants to feel like this
Reach for me
Nobody wants to hurt like this
I'm falling deep
Reach for me

Anchor

Drifting beneath the horizon
Body is weak but I'm trying
To make it to shore, but I'm falling short
I need You more
Wave after wave, I've been sinking
So unto Your promise I'm clinging
You say that I'm strong, to You I belong
Keep holding on

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
You are my anchor
You're keeping my feet on the ground
In angry oceans, You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now

When I get tired of finding
All of the fears I've been hiding
You gave me a breath, and tell me to rest
You never left
I can, I can, I can hear You, calling me by name
Pulling me up from under my shame
I'll never be the same
I can face anything, so let it rain

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
You are my anchor
You're keeping my feet on the ground
In angry oceans, You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now

Don't let go
I don't want to do this alone
Don't let go
I know that I'll drown on my own

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now (I don't want to do this alone)
Anchor
You're keeping my feet on the ground (I know that I'll drown on my own)
In angry oceans, You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now

Finish Line

Good evening, my people up in the chandeliers
The wining and dining, the menu is blood, sweat and tears

Everybody ready
Raining down confetti
Champions are born right now
Ain't about the glamour
Click goes the hammer
Run when you hear that sound

Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line
We know we survive
Even if we crawl to the finish line
I will believe it
Underdog dreaming
Don't need no cheers
World's gonna see it
Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line

Their dreams just keep dripping out of their golden cups
I'm starting, I'm starving, leftovers ain't enough

Ain't about the royals
They do nothing for you
All you got is you right now
Who is gonna falter
Who is gonna conquer
Better never count me out

Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line
We know we survive
Even if we crawl to the finish line
I will believe it
Underdog dreaming
Don't need no cheers
World's gonna see it
Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line

Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it to the finish line
Every day, every day
Gonna make it to the finish line

Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it to the finish line
Every day, every day
Gonna make it to the finish line

Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line
We know we survive
Even if we crawl to the finish line
I will believe it
Underdog dreaming
Don't need no cheers
World's gonna see it
Heroes never die
Gonna make it to the finish line

Back to Life

I can't
Recognize me anymore
(This is all too hard to say)
I am
I'm becoming sick and sore
(Why do I push you away?)

Just like I did before
Keep falling down when I try to soar
It's like I like the pain
I don't wanna feel this way

What's happening to me?

I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You can
You can make me real again
(Just a plastic mannequin)
I am
I am nothing but pretend
(But you know what I am)

Watch out 'cause this may sting (may sting)
Keep making promises I can't keep (can't keep)
Help me to break these chains (these chains)
I don't wanna feel this way

What's happening to me?

I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

I'm digging in the dirt
This is hell on earth
Can you heal the places that I hurt
Can't open up my eyes
All I see is night
Bring me back to life

What's happening to me?

I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life

I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life
