[Intro]
Run, run, the sky is turning red
Run, run, there’s thunder overhead

[Verse]
I had a mouth full of lightning
And a heart that would not learn
I called it destiny rising
While every bridge began to burn

I pushed away the warning signs
I laughed at every scar
I said the road belonged to me
Then drove it much too far

[Pre-Chorus]
The higher that I climbed
The smaller grew the ground
I could not hear the truth
Above the roaring sound

[Chorus]
It’s pride before the fall
When you won’t hear the call
When your back is to the fire
And your hands still want it all

It’s pride before the fall
You feel ten feet tall
Till the crown becomes an anchor
And the king becomes the wall

[Verse]
I wore my anger like armor
I called my silence strength
I made a sword from every word
That tried to make me change

I told the ones who loved me
They could never understand
Then I watched them turn to shadows
Slipping through my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
The louder that I shouted
The more I disappeared
I built a golden tower
Out of everything I feared

[Chorus]
It’s pride before the fall
When you won’t hear the call
When your back is to the fire
And your hands still want it all

It’s pride before the fall
You feel ten feet tall
Till the crown becomes an anchor
And the king becomes the wall

[Bridge]
Somebody stop the wheels tonight
Somebody cut the wires
Somebody tell this foolish heart
It’s dancing in the fire

[Break]
Too late
Too proud
Too high
Too loud

[Solo]

[Chorus]
It’s pride before the fall
When you won’t hear the call
When your back is to the fire
And your hands still want it all

It’s pride before the fall
You feel ten feet tall
Till the crown becomes an anchor
And the king becomes the wall

[Outro]
Run, run, the sky is turning red
Run, run, there’s thunder overhead
