[Intro]
At the turn of the tide
At the turn of the tide
[Verse 1]
With the blind leading the blind
I bled out a thousand times
No one can save you
With that path behind me now I finally realize
That life is full of twists and turns and unexpected ties
[Pre-Chorus 1]
At the turn of the tide
At the turn of the tide
[Chorus 1]
Don’t lose, yourself in the rules
Just do what you do
When everything’s wrong (everything’s wrong)
[Post-Chorus]
DEVOUR DEVOUR DEVOUR
[Verse 2]
The flames of change will be erased
Wash it away
The journey can not be replaced
Lead the way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
At the turn of the tide
So uncertain and filled to the brim with your pride (filled to the brim with your pride)
At the turn of the tide
[Chorus 2]
Don’t lose, yourself in the rules
Just do what you do
When everything’s wrong
I'm no excuse I’m living proof
And I will bleed out truth onto you
Just do what you do
No matter how hard to choose
[Bridge]
With the past I move along (along, along, along, along, along)
I've been through the trials of fire (fire, fire, fire, fire)
With the path behind I move along
I’ve been through the trials of fire
With my head held high and my soul intact
I’m no prisoner to my desire
To my desire
[Pre-Chorus 1]
At the turn of the tide
At the turn of the tide
[Chorus 2]
Don’t lose, yourself in the rules
Just do what you do
When everything’s wrong
I'm no excuse I’m living proof
And I will bleed out truth onto you
Just do what you do
No matter how hard to choose
[Outro]
No matter how hard to choose
No matter how hard to choose
