[Verse 1]
On the day I was born the skies shattered and wept
You best believe it was something to see, baby
Savior born sinner delivered as flesh
When I took my first *breathes*
The earth rattled and shook
I'm graced by disgrace, I put rats in their place, yeah
They're barkin' like dogs while we're howling like wolves
[Chorus]
I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain
They can't hold me down
[Verse 2]
From a mountain on high I feel I must confess
There was a time I let hatred define me
I wrestled those demons and left pride in my wake
Rise and wake up
It's our time to prevail
How could you think I would ever deceive you?
I live by the sword and I'll die by my word
[Chorus]
I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain
They can't hold me down
[Bridge]
And these words are forced from my lungs
With a time bomb attached to my tongue
And you wanna know will I fall?
I don't know, but if I do
I'll take this whole place down with me
And we'll drift off to sleep in a wakeless abyss
[Chorus]
I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain
They can't hold me down
I wrap around every thorn
And every flower placed on the grave of your past mistakes
[Post-Chorus]
My last words are ripped from my chest like a wrongful arrest
But I'm here to make you bury these lies
[Outro]
My head hurts from all the truth
