Become The Catalyst
All That Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll shut this out no more
Embrace this and I become the catalyst
And now it swells in me
Smash all my defenses down
I'll take this I'll let this fire consume me
I pound the walls I shake the cage
I will not fall I will not fail
Let this fire consume me
This burning passion it fills me with desire
And drives me and it drives my cause
I'm filled with reasons but reasons drive me further
Disdain for disbelief will stay the course
Oh, let the fire consume me
Let the fire burn
Let the courage flow through me
Let the fire burn
