These Scars Won’t Define Us

[Intro: Robb Flynn]
One life is all that you
One life is all that you get

[Verse 1: Robb Flynn, Anders Fridén]
A dread comes over me in moments of my weakness
It suffocates me as I contemplate the bleakness
Head to the grindstone, power forward through the endless dark
Focus determination, on this world I'll leave a mark
It took so long for any confidence to get in here
And now the question that I need to know, I cannot hear

[Pre-Chorus: Robb Flynn]
I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

[Chorus: Robb Flynn & Cristina Scabbia, Robb Flynn]
One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
(One life is all that you)
One life is all that you get

[Verse 2: Robb Flynn & Anders Fridén, Andrea Ferro, Andrea Ferro & Robb Flynn ]
The time has come for me to let go of my grudges
Power and strength will come to clear the path before us
Quiet the voices, in my head, sometimes they never stop
Dig for my confidence, keep going till I fucking drop
Don't waste a moment, every second precious, seize the day
No time to rest on laurels, sleep will come when in the grave

[Pre-Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Robb Flynn]
I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

[Chorus: Robb Flynn & Cristina Scabbia, Anders Fridén, Anders Fridén & Robb Flynn]
One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
(One life is all that you)
One life is all that you get

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Robb Flynn, Trevor Phipps, Anders Fridén, Andrea Ferro]
Hope, don't let them bury the hope
The wicked won't reap what they sow
The cynics they need to see light
So stand up and show them what's right
Don't let them bury the hope
The wicked won't reap what they sow
The cynics they need to see light
So stand up and show them what's right

[Chorus]
One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us (ties that bind)
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
(One life is all that you get)
One life, these scars they won't define us (won't define)
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us (ties that bind)
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
(One life is all that you)
One life is all that you get
