Lift Me Up
Five Finger Death Punch/Rob Halford/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't no mystery
I'm all I have left
I'm pushing back running you over

I've been thrown down,
Run around
Beaten 'til I hit the ground
I'm telling you right now that it's over

There's no room for mistakes
All the parts are in place
Say what you will but say it to my face

Better back the fuck up
Better shut the fuck up
I'll do what I want
And I'll never give up

I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

I'm gonna change history
Enlighten the world
Teach 'em how to see through my eyes
I'm gonna lash back check that fate as a heart attack
Stomp out all the ugliest lies

You can't convince me to change
We ain't on the same page
I've had my fill
There's nothing but rage

Best get out of my way 'cause there's nothing to say
Is that all you got because I ain't got all day

I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up to fly away




Lift me up to fly away
Lift me up

LYRICS
I have a knife in my heart, I could never explain
Cloned from a killer, I crawled out the drain
Dark from the start, there's a short in my brain
To some it may hurt but to me it's just pain

Regret it? Never...
Forget it, this ain't a game
Ain't gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed (I ain't ashamed)
I'm gonna walk it, I'll never be tamed

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

Ugly I can be, what you know about me?
I'm a pirate and a thief and you'll never fucking see
There comes a point in time, put it all out on the line
I'm gonna get mine (mine), I come to take mine

Regret it? Never...
Forget it, this ain't a game
Ain't gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed (I ain't ashamed)
I'm gonna walk it, I'll never be tamed

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

Ooh, let's - die
Let's - rise
Ooh, let's - die
Let's - rise

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Whoa, whoa
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

To some it may hurt but to me it's just pain

Regret it? Never...
Forget it, this ain't a game
Make him a target, I am ashamed (Hide the shame)
Under the walk-in, I'll never be tamed

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

Ugly I can be, what you know about me?
