Lyrics
Strike
Verse 1
Sink to the bottom, to the bottom
With the very last breath you breathe
Now you got ‘em, now you got ‘em
Shook the earth and set captives free
In the morning, in the morning
Rising up to claim victory
Not a warning, not a warning, not a warningChorus 1
Every time that you strike, you strike
Not a fool can catch it down, catch it down
Like a fire-bolt in the night, the night
Flare up when you hit the ground, hit the ground
You light a crack in the sky, the sky
With a gunshot sound, ring out, ring out
Every time that you strike, you strike
This world turns back around back aroundVerse 2
Stuck in a cycle, in a cycle
Human suffering and deceit
Faulty idols, faulty idols
Lining up to take our beliefs
Love and glory, love and glory
Storming in as the prophecy
Not a warning, not a warning, not a warningChorus x2
