Intro

Lower the bridge.

Open the gate.

I know what's waiting.

I'm done making it wait.

Verse 1

Grip tight.

Head high.

Let the first wave break.

I will meet it head-on

with whatever it takes.

Down through the mouth

of the pit that consumed me,

past every turn

where the terror once ruled me.

I remember the fall.

I remember the crawl.

How I fought for a breath

with my back to the wall.

Now the armor fits.

Now the wounds have closed.

I can carry the fear

down the same damned road.

Pre-Chorus

Let it rise through my body.

Let it burn through my doubt.

I have been this far beneath the earth

and found my own way out.

Chorus

Drag me back to hell.

I'm ready this time.

Through the fire, through the fall,

I will fight my way outside.

Let the depths rise up to meet me.

Let them learn how hard I held.

I have come to break the gates wide—

drag me back to

hell.

Verse 2

Shield raised.

Take aim.

Let the onslaught come.

I can feel every strike.

I can answer each one.

Every fracture repaired

with the freedom to move.

Every hour of the climb

gave me something to prove.

There are hands in the wreckage.

There are cries through the smoke.

I will follow them down

to the place where I broke.

Get your arm round my shoulder.

Keep your eyes on the rise.

We have breath in our bodies.

We have time left to fight.

Pre-Chorus

Let it rise through my body.

I can carry it still.

There is room beside me for the wounded.

There is room upon this hill.

Chorus

Drag me back to hell.

I'm ready this time.

Through the fire, through the fall,

I will fight my way outside.

Let the depths rise up to meet me.

Let them learn how hard I held.

I have come to break the gates wide—

drag me back to hell.

Bridge

You come to me dressed in the midnight,

with a mouth that could make heaven fall.

Through the smoke, I can feel you beside me.

Through the flames, I can still hear you call.

They can chain your wings to the altar.

They can bury your voice in the deep.

I am coming to tear it wide open.

There is nothing of you they can keep.

Breakdown

Down through the fire.

Straight to the throne.

Angel of darkness—

I’m bringing you home.

Rip out the hinges.

Shatter the chain.

Let every throat in the underworld

Scream out your name.

Your hands on my armor.

Your breath at my ear.

“Did you come here to save me?”

I came to take you out of here.

Final Chorus

Drag me back to hell.

I’m ready this time.

For the taste of your kiss in the ashes,

for your body pressed to mine.

Let the depths rise

up against me.

Let their legions bar the way.

I will bring you through the fire

till the night gives way to day.

Drag me back to hell.

Let the heavens draw the line.

Spread your wings around my shoulders.

Choose me, and I’ll make you mine.

Outro

Break through the gates.

Leave them behind.

Your lips find mine

for the very first time.

Angel of darkness—

we’re leaving alive.

I will bring you through the fire

till the night gives way to day.

Drag me back to hell.

Let the heavens draw the line.

Spread your wings around my shoulders.

Choose me, and I’ll make you mine.
