Legendary
(Legendary) Oh

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

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)

You Aint 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

This is The Kingdom
This is the kingdom, kingdom
This is the kingdom, kingdom
Everybody's building empires
Building walls high
In the name of glory
Everybody's hanging high wires
It's a fine line
It's an age old story
The first will be last
And the last will be kings
The small will be great
And the great will be weak
Everybody's building empires
But it's our time
This is the kingdom
Heaven coming down
To the corners of the earth
This is the kingdom
Come alive in us
Gonna light up this whole world
This is for freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
To break off every chain
This is the kingdom
Blessed are the bound and broken
You're a citizen
And your faith will prove it
Blessed are the persecuted
And the wounded
You'll be crowned as rulers
The first will be last
And the last will be kings
The small will be great
And the great will be weak
This is the kingdom
Heaven coming down
To the corners of the earth
This is the kingdom
Come alive in us
Gonna light up this whole world
This is for freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
To break off every chain
This is the kingdom
Forever (forever), forever (forever)
Everything else is gonna fade away
It stands forever (forever), forever (forever)
Everything else is gonna fade away
We stand together (together), together (together)
One heart, one voice, one name
It stands forever (forever), forever (forever)
Forever
This is the kingdom
This is the kingdom, kingdom
This is the kingdom
This is the kingdom
Heaven coming down
To the corners of the Earth
This is the kingdom
Come on, line with us
Gonna light up this whole world
This is for freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
To break off every chain
This is the kingdom
This is the kingdom
This is the kingdom, kingdom
This is the kingdom, kingdom

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
Hold 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 I come back 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 stop starin')
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
Hold 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 I come back 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
Hold you, reach out your hand
Just save, just save me tonight
I'm damaged if you dare, tonight
It feels like no one cares, so why
Can I come back 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
Hold you, reach out your hand
Just save (just save), just save me
What are you waitin' for?
Someone save me

Rise up
Rise up, rise up just like a fighter
Rise up, rise up
No way, never gonna bow to your hate
You 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
Giving my all, my heart and my soul
You can't control
Love's gonna be a battle cry
So hear me
Rise up, rise up just like a fighter
We will rise again
Rise up, rise up, we got the fire
Burnin' to the end
No fear, no death tonight
I'm feelin' 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 knockin'
Scream out with voices like thunder
'Cause I believe we are the free
I know who I am, can't take it to me
I will defend, never pretend
I won't give in
Love's gonna be a battle cry
So we will
Rise up, rise up just like a fighter
We will rise again
Rise up, rise up, we got the fire
Burnin' to the end
No fear, no death tonight
I'm feelin' 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
Burnin' to the end
No fear, no death tonight
I'm feelin' 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 another part
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?
Your breaking in on me
Restoring 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 another part
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 'cause 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 another part
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 a 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
On my life, I'm never going back
I never say die and I ain't starting, yeah
Tell no lies, I'm never going back
My back's against the wall, but I know who I am
Never go, never going 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
On my life, I'm never going back
I never say die and I ain't starting, yeah
Tell no lies, I'm never going back
My back's against the wall, but I know who I am
Never go, never going 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
On my life, I'm never going back
I never say die and I ain't starting, yeah
Tell no lies, I'm never going back
My back's against the wall, but I know who I am
On my life, I'm never going back (no more)
(Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
I never say die and I ain't starting, yeah
(Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
Tell no lies, I'm never going back (no more)
(Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
My back's against the wall, but I know who I am
(Never gonna be, never gonna be yours)
Never go, never going back
Never go, never going back
Never

Never

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)
Promise me you're never leaving
I'm still here, broken, 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)
Promise me you're never leaving
I'm still here, broken, 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)
Promise me you're never leaving
I'm still here, broken, 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 won't believe it, underdog dreamin'
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 ya
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 won't believe it, underdog dreamin'
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 won't believe it, underdog dreamin'
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 black
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
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
