(album: Heaven Is A Place, This Is A Place - 2021)

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
And 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
