(The damage is done...) (Verse 1) Pulling the pin on the weakness, I’m blasting straight through the ceiling Stripping the flesh off the past, exposing every raw feeling I’m looking straight in the mirror, re-awakening giants Spitting a venomous script with absolute, total defiance The old me wanted to quit, suffocated and static But I’m a lyrical sniper, fully automatic, erratic I’m turning the pain into ammunition, chambered and locked Leaving that ghost from yesterday paralyzed, shocked I took the wreckage I was, turned to a weapon of war Kicking the hinges right off of every locked-up door So step aside from the fallout, I'm burning down the whole stage Unleashing decades of torment, rewriting every single page. (Chorus) The sky is bleeding fire, but the storm is finally dead! I’m marching through the ashes with a fire in my head! Dragged through the belly of hell, but I broke every chain, Now I'm a thunderbolt crashing, ruling over the pain! Yeah, I’m rising from the dirt, and there’s no turning back! (Verse 2) I put a torch to my history, watched it reduce to an ember Giving that shadow a nightmare that it will always remember No room for pity or comfort, I cut the throat of the doubt Feeding the fire inside me until the lights are all out I used to target myself, used to leverage the scars But I’m a force in the darkness, trading the cages for stars I am the grit in the gutter, I am the force in the fight Brutally breaking the habit and claiming what is my right A runaway train on the tracks, tearing the concrete apart Pumping the venom and ice straight out of yesterday's heart The final chapter is written, the old identity’s slain Now watch the masterpiece rise out of the blood and the stain. (Chorus) The sky is bleeding fire, but the storm is finally dead! I’m marching through the ashes with a fire in my head! Dragged through the belly of hell, but I broke every chain, Now I'm a thunderbolt crashing, ruling over the pain! Yeah, I’m rising from the dirt, and there’s no turning back! (Verse 3) Now I’m cementing the gravestone of every habit I broke Watching the ghost of my failure completely vanish in smoke No looking back with regret, I am the executioner now Taking the blade to the weakness and never making a bow I dragged myself through the trenches to find the grit in my bones Breaking the mirror to pieces, rejecting all of the undertones The self-destruction is finished, the execution is clean Rising a whole different monster, the sharpest you've ever seen I am the anvil and hammer, I am the spark and the flame Forging a heavy-weight future out of the mud and the shame The final nail has been driven, the old identity’s done Standing with God in the clearing, knowing the battle is won. (Chorus) The sky is bleeding fire, but the storm is finally dead! I’m marching through the ashes with a fire in my head! Dragged through the belly of hell, but I broke every chain, Now I'm a thunderbolt crashing, ruling over the pain! Yeah, I’m rising from the dirt, and there’s no turning back! (Post-Chorus) Standing with God yeah the damage is done. (yeah the damage is done)
