you try to hold me down you try to hold me back you try to tempt me down the wide path you try to hold me down you try to hold me back you try to stir doubt in my heart but i'm breaking out and i'm breaking free from the chains that once imprisoned me but i'm breaking out and i'm breaking free no power of death over me for years - i feared, death and my destiny black cloud - of guilt, looming over me locked down - hell bound, from my birth you fed - my head, with thoughts of no escape i'm breaking out the devil - he tempts me the world - beckons me the flesh - condemns me they want to take me out you try to hold us down you try to hold us back you try to tempt us down the wide path you try to hold us down you try to hold us back you try to stir doubt in our heart but we're breaking out and we're breaking free from the chains that once imprisoned us but we're breaking out and we're breaking free no power of death over us
