[Verse 1: Myles Kennedy]
Into the last refrain, as your empire falls
World in decay, your back's against the wall
Tell me now, is it too late?
Tell me now, who’ll pay the cost?
For all the times you've disengaged
Tomorrow could be lost

[Pre-Chorus: Myles Kennedy]
Stop what you started
Open your eyes
The truth is the hardest thing to deny

[Chorus: Myles Kennedy]
Save defiance and hope you've got one last shot
Blood of tyrants running cold, they will never stop
Save defiance, you alone will resist in time
Break alliance to behold shifting paradigms

[Verse 2: Myles Kennedy]
There is no time to waste
This you can’t deny
The truth you embraced was only just a lie
Now do you see you're betrayed?
Now you must keep your resolve
Or everything you sacrificed to keep will forever be dissolved
[Pre-Chorus: Myles Kennedy]
Stop what they started
Open your eyes
They're reaping the harvest and bleeding you dry

[Chorus: Myles Kennedy]
Save defiance and hope you've got one last shot
Blood of tyrants running cold, they will never stop
Save defiance, you alone will resist in time
Break alliance to behold shifting paradigms

[Bridge: Myles Kennedy]
This is your season
Take heed and rise
The battle has started
(With your back against the wall)
Fight for your life
(Back against the wall, back against the wall, back against the wall)

[Chorus: Myles Kennedy]
Save defiance and hope you've got one last shot
Blood of tyrants running cold, they will never stop
Save defiance, you alone will resist in time
Break alliance to behold shifting paradigms
