From there, the band would continue to rise in the charts. In 2007, they released their fifth full-length, The Flame in All of Us, which was produced by Ken Andrews (Beck, Chris Cornell, Pete Yorn). Arriving in 2009, the aggressive Welcome to the Masquerade, which would be the band's last release with Tooth & Nail, entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 35, peaking at number two on the Christian rock chart. It was their most successful album to date and would spawn the band's first live album, Live at the Masquerade. The group's next studio album, The End Is Where We Begin, was issued in 2012. It was their first album released entirely independently. Continuing the upward chart trajectory with each subsequent release, The End debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and claimed the top spots on both the hard rock and Christian charts. In late 2013, the band released Made in Canada: The 1998-2010 Collection, which included two new tracks. Thousand Foot Krutch remained independent into 2014, relying on crowd-sourcing for the release of the energetic Oxygen: Inhale, the first part of a pair of hard rock chart-topping LPs. The heavier Exhale followed in 2016, marking TFK's third consecutive Christian number one.

Just like a movie
I couldn't speak
I couldn't walk away
Cause you flew right through me
I am not waiting
These hands are shaking trembling
I've been taking by you... uuu
And I was lost before tonight
And I'm so amazed that how you've touched

And I almost missed it

I saw an angel fly today, just like a movie
I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t walk away, ‘cause you flew right through me
And I’m not waiting, these hands are shaking, trembling, I’ve been taken, by you
I was lost before tonight and
I’m so amazed at how you’ve
Touched me, and make it right
'Cause I'm alive when I see you, light up, I light up, I light up
When I see you, light up, I light up, I light up
