Lyrics

[Intro]
Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to an end
When hearts asunder
[Verse 1]
When you gather like birds of prey
Rejoice what is broken and turning away
There's no rest 'cause these wounds won't heal
I can't let it go, can't let it go
[Chorus]
No matter how deep we're falling for our calling
Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere
What is awaiting? I'll embrace it
In the end, all I know, I have to face it
[Verse 2]
Carry on your fire and raise your head
And save yourself from their collective projection
Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to an end
When hearts asunder
[Chorus]
Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within
Whoa, you kill me, as lightning, your words strike in
Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin
[Bridge]
That I shed my skin
[Verse 3]
I know heaven is not my home
I feel like I'm choking, and I'm playing their game
Oh, I can't hold on to yesterday
I cannot hold on, cannot hold on
[Chorus]
No matter how deep we're falling, for our calling
Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere
What is awaiting, I'll embrace it
In the end, all I know, I have to face it
[Chorus]
When hearts asunder
Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within
Whoa, you kill me, as lightning, your words strike in
Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin
[Bridge]
We shed our skin, we don't wanna be broken, broken
We shed our skin, we don't wanna be broken, broken
[Verse 4]
Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to an end
When hearts asunder
[Chorus]
Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within
Whoa, you kill me, as lightning, your words strike in
Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin
[Outro]
That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin
