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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes me feel like running,
This place is making me
Transform until i feel like nothing.
It the strength in you and me
That surrounds everything,
The way you look out for me,
[Chorus]
It's the flame, in all of us,
The same, that makes us feel this,
Flame, in all of us, the same,
That makes us feel it.
We are the youth, of yesterday,
We've brought you pain and sorrow,
That's what they say, but
They paved the way we are the new tomorrow,
It's the strength in you and me
That surrounds everything,
The way you look out for me,
The way you burn.
[Chorus: x 2]
It's the flame in all of us that makes,
The change in all of us,
That takes, the blame in all of us,
And still keeps it alive.
