On the day I was born the skies shattered and wept
You best believe it was something to see, baby, saviour born sinner delivered as flesh
When I took my first breath the earth rattled and shook
I’m graced by disgrace
I put rats in their place, yeah, they’re barking like dogs while we’re howling like wolves

I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain, they can’t hold me down

From a mountain on high I feel I must confess
There was a time I let hatred define me
I wrestled those demons and left pride in my wake
Rise and wake up, it’s our time to prevail
How could you think I would ever deceive you
I live by the sword and I’ll die by my word

I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain, they can’t hold me down
These words are forced from my lungs with a time bomb attached to my tongue
You wanna know will I fall?
I don’t know, but if I do I’ll take this whole place down with me
And we’ll drift off to sleep in a wakeless abyss

I come alive forged in fire
My love will break these chains built from pain
They can’t hold me down
I wrap around every thorn and every flower
Placed on the grave of your past mistakes
My last words are ripped from my chest like a wrongful arrest
But I’m here to make you bury these lies
My head hurts from all the truth
