you try to hold me down
you try to hold me back
you try to tempt me down the wide path
you try to hold me down
you try to hold me back
you try to stir doubt in my heart
but i'm breaking out
and i'm breaking free
from the chains that once imprisoned me
but i'm breaking out
and i'm breaking free
no power of death over me
for years - i feared, death and my destiny
black cloud - of guilt, looming over me
locked down - hell bound, from my birth
you fed - my head, with thoughts of no escape
i'm breaking out
the devil - he tempts me
the world - beckons me
the flesh - condemns me
they want to take me out
you try to hold us down
you try to hold us back
you try to tempt us down the wide path
you try to hold us down
you try to hold us back
you try to stir doubt in our heart
but we're breaking out
and we're breaking free
from the chains that once imprisoned us
but we're breaking out
and we're breaking free
no power of death over us
