Taken From Nothing

[Intro: Ryan Neff]
If you can make it through this
If you can make it out alive
Then will you tell your story
Of how you have survived?

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]
Former days now gone, lament
As you face these years of torment
Asked to demonstrate how you repent
While expectant eyes await intent on discontent

[Refrain: Tim Lambesis]
They turned their backs
(They turned their backs)
Then took your voice, dark horse

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Neff]
If you can make it through this
If you can make it out alive
Then will you tell your story?
Of how you were

[Chorus: Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis]
Taken from nothing
Shown the world is far from merciful
Inhumane, but there is time to live again
To live again

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]
Weighed down but now no longer falling
A heavy scarlet letter transformed into your calling
Your mentor was misery, dark horse
New power, destiny, dark horse
All the strength from the weight you carry, dark horse

[Chorus: Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis]
Taken from nothing
Shown the world is far from merciful
Inhumane, but there is time to live again
There is time to live again

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
These vast plains we're in the middle of have an end
This damning desert was built with finite grains of sand
Rejected by the establishment
And given this unexpected gift
Your mind immortal, though your body in hell
But they won't be able, to keep you here

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
If you can make it through this
If you can make it out

[Chorus: Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis, Tim Lambesis & Ryan Neff]
Taken from nothing
Shown the world is far from merciful
Inhumane, but there is time
Taken from nothing
Shown the world is far from merciful
Inhumane, but there is time to live again
Live again
To live again

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]
Your mentor was misery (dark horse)
All the strength from the weight you carry (dark horse)
