[Verse 1]
<br />They fall in line,
<br />One at a time.
<br />Ready to play
<br />(I can't see them anyway)
<br />No time to lose
<br />We've got to move
<br />Steady the helm
<br />(I am losing sight again)

<br />Fire your guns,
<br />It's time to run,
<br />Blow me away.
<br />(I will stay, In the mess I made)
<br />After the fall,
<br />We'll shake it off,
<br />Show me the way.

We’ve got to move

<br />After the fall,
Steady your hand (other sources state: steady at/the helm)
<br />We'll shake it off,
<br />Show me the way.

Its time to run

Lyrics[edit]

[Verse 1]
They fall in line,
One at a time.
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady the helm
(I am losing sight again)


[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, In the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.


[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to Heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.


[Verse 2]
There's nothing left,
So save your breath,
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown,
Nowhere to go,
Holding your fate.
(loaded, I will walk alone)


[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, In the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.


[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to Heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.


Wanting it back
(Don't fight me, God!)


(Here I come! (Held out for about 2 seconds))


(Die! (Held out for about 5 seconds))


[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to Heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.


Save us all!
