[Verse]
And when they took us by the collar
And we couldn't breathe no more, as they beat us half to death
I could taste the blood that they made pour
Through all the pain, I heard you laughing
And then I turned and watched you grin
With a broken voice, you reassured me
You and I'd be laughing in the end

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a joke, heard you laugh once again
Through the tears, I watched the light as it dimmed (It dimmed)
Fighting once again when you are near
I'm mad enough and now I know that all we've got, we're losing

[Chorus]
Now we both know
How many times we're beaten 'til the tears would flow
Our bloodshed, our bloodshed from our broken hearts
Soon this all will be over, so rest your head on my shoulders
We're ascending, we'll fight the ending, and we'll all be done
I wonder why? Why is it comfortable to watch the lights go dim?
An amen to send me on my way tonight
Look up to the sky to see the rain is washing over me
I won't give up now, though I've been beat down again
[Post-Chorus]
I look to you and then I scream (Ooh)
I hope that you remember me (Ooh)
