  • Take a look around you, yeah, the sky is falling
    Sinners say your prayers this train is off the tracks
    Nothing is forever when tomorrow's calling
    Dancing with the devil to get one day back

    I'm not afraid of burning bridges
    'Cause I know they're gonna light my way
    Like a Phoenix, from the ashes
    Welcome to the future it's a new day

    We don't run
    I'm standing my ground
    We don't run
    And we don't back down
    There's fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountains
    Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run)
    We don't run, we don't run

    Take me to the banks of your muddy water
    Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
    Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
    You're the only reason that I still believe

    I'm not afraid of burning bridges
    'Cause I know they're gonna light my way
    Like a Phoenix, from the ashes
    Welcome to the future it's a new day

    We don't run
    I'm standing my ground
    We don't run
    And we don't back down
    There's fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain
    Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run)
    We don't run, we don't run

    We don't run
    I'm standing my ground
    We don't run
    And we don't back down
    There's fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain
    Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run)
    We don't run, we don't run
