Slip away, your vanity is gone, I'm falling out of place We all fall down, the pain goes on We bear through the war and turn the lost away We all fall down, the pain goes on And I'll be the fire that dries the flood As I fight for one last prayer, I keep holding on No love to believe in As I drag the Devil down, I will stand alone No longer defeated Stripped away, we rise above it all, forgotten and betrayed We all fall down, the pain goes on No better than before, still broken and afraid We all fall down, the pain goes on And I'll be the cloud that hides the sun As I fight for one last prayer, I keep holding on No love to believe in As I drag the Devil down, I will stand alone No longer defeated I'm falling to pieces, (Pained and used) I know what I needed, it's not you It's not you As I fight for one last prayer, I keep holding on No love to believe in As I drag the Devil down, I will stand alone No longer defeated No longer defeated No longer defeated
