Life begins at birth
A struggle to unearth
And here your kingdom waits
Beyond these gates
I came alone to where you stood
these tools in my hand
your face hung low
so I dug your grave so shallow
You put on me this burden
I've shown what I can
I took down your cross
and I built your gallows
Ignite
Made Right
Ignite
the fire burning bright
until the morning light
unfolds her wings of flight
I came alone to where you stood
these tools in my hand
your face hung low
so I dug your grave so shallow
You put on me this burden
I've shown what I can
I took down your cross
and I built your gallows
Ignite
the fury dark as night
the truth is purely white
reaching beyond my site
Liar
take your cross back from me
Liar
lift it from my back
Watch me
as i break this wood
and build your downfall
Higher
death makes all things new
Higher
so all can see you
I cry
I built this for you
from these gallows
And when my pride fell away
I gathered wood so you could stay
Here I sit among these nails
meant for my hands
You loved me so
The gallows creak, bent from the weight
Release me now
The fire burns, embers rise
remember me & what I built to bring us close
The wood's still there
standing tall against the sky
where you once stood
And then my pride fell away
this gathered wood now burned and gray.
Liar
Take your cross back from me
Liar
Take all your wood back
Watch as
I lift it higher
and build your gallows
Liar
Swing from your gallows
Liar
Your grave made shallow
My eyes, the last thing you'll see
as you swing
