The Path
Fit for a King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another valley, another mountain to climb
Searching for peace, with the chaos inside
Under the pressure, under the weight of the sky
Marching with madness but there's hope in our eyes

Destroying the fear
Ignoring the lies
Embracing the pain
The strong survive
Destroying the fear
Ignoring the lies
It's time to decide

If you're broken, if you're bleeding
If you're dying for somebody to believe in
Don't you turn back, you've got a story to tell
We'll find the path, the path out of hell

Facing the thunder
Facing the storm up ahead
Only God knows when this journey will end
Another question, another knife in the road
Sometimes you have to fall, to learn where to go

Destroying the fear
Ignoring the lies
Embracing the pain
The strong survive
Destroying the fear
Ignoring the lies
It's time to fight, fight, fight

If you're broken, if you're bleeding
If you're dying for somebody to believe in
Don't you turn back, you've got a story to tell
We'll find the path out of hell
Whoa, oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh
We'll find the path out of hell
Whoa, oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh
We'll find the path, the path out of hell

With blood on our hands, the hammer will fall
When demons arise
We will kill them all

Destroying the fear
Ignoring the lies
It's time to fight, fight, fight

If you're broken, if you're bleeding
If you're dying for somebody to believe in
Don't you turn back, you've got a story to tell
We'll find the path out of hell
Whoa, oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh
We'll find the path out of hell
Whoa, oh oh




Whoa, oh oh oh
We'll find the path, the path out of hell
