Lyrics
Lyrics from Breaking Benjamin's MySpace page.
[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 your hand (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!
