I'll Be Waiting

[Verse] They come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting I'm already dead and walking, you can't kill me twice With every scar and every wound, I keep on fighting I won't back down, I won't compromise (ooh-yeah) [Verse 2] They say I'm just a shadow, a ghost in the night But I'm stronger than they'll ever know I may be beaten down, but I'll still stand tall I won't let them break my spirit, I won't let them go (ooh-yeah) [Chorus] I'll be waiting in the dark, ready for the fight They can try to bring me down, but I won't let them win I've got the fire burning deep inside my soul They may come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting [Verse 3] In the silence of the night, I hear them whisper Tales of my downfall, stories they weave so nice But I've been through hell and back, I've felt the blister They come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting (ooh-yeah) [Verse 4] I'm already dead, you can't kill me twice Every battle scar, a testament to my life's sacrifice Though they aim to shatter, my resolve won't crack I'll face the storm, head-on, I won't turn back (ooh-yeah) [Bridge] Through the tears and pain, I've found my strength A beacon in the darkness, guiding me to lengths I've never known before, a warrior reborn With every challenge faced, my spirit's unadorned [Chorus] I'll be waiting in the dark, ready for the fight They can try to bring me down, but I won't let them win I've got the fire burning deep inside my soul They may come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting [Final Chorus] In a crescendo of hope, my spirit takes flight They can try to chain me, but I'll break free again With a flame that blazes, brighter than before They may come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting at heaven's door I'll be waiting in the dark, ready for the fight They can try to bring me down, but I won't let them win I've got the fire burning deep inside my soul They may come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting [Outro] They may come to twist the knife, but I'll be waiting
