Nah, you don't know me 00:08

Lightning above and a fire below me 00:10

You can not catch me, can not hold me 00:12

You can not stop, much less control me 00:14

When it rains, it pours 00:16

When the floodgates open, brace your shores 00:18

That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors 00:20

Say it's all you can take, better take some more 00:22

'Cause I know what it's like to test fate 00:25

Had my shoulders pressed with that weight 00:28

Stood up strong in spite of that hate 00:30

The night gets darkest right before dawn 00:32

What don't kill you makes you more strong 00:36

And I've been waiting for it so long 00:38

The nights go on 00:41

Waiting for a light that never comes 00:45

I chase the sun 00:49

Waiting for a light that never comes 00:54

Oh-oh-oh-oh 00:58

Oh-oh-oh-oh 01:02

Oh-oh-oh-oh 01:07

Waiting for a light that never comes 01:11

01:16

When I was young, they told me, they said 01:32

Make your bed, you lie in that bed 01:33

A King can only rein 'till instead 01:35

There comes that day, it's off with his head 01:37

The night gets darkest right before dawn 01:39

What don't kill you makes you more strong 01:43

You'll have my mercy, then when you're gone 01:46

The nights go on 01:48

Waiting for a light that never comes 01:52

I chase the sun 01:56

Waiting for a light that never comes 02:00

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:05

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:08

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:13

Waiting for a light that never comes 02:17

And I told them; nah you don't know me 02:22

Lightning above and a fire below me 02:23

You can not catch me, can not hold me 02:26

You can not stop, much less control me 02:28

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:46

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:54

Waiting for a light that never comes! 02:59

Lyrics:

[English]

Nah, you don't know me

Lightning above and a fire below me

You can not catch me, can not hold me

You can not stop, much less control me

When it rains, it pours

When the floodgates open, brace your shores

That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors

Say it's all you can take, better take some more

'Cause I know what it's like to test fate

Had my shoulders pressed with that weight

Stood up strong in spite of that hate

The night gets darkest right before dawn

What don't kill you makes you more strong

And I've been waiting for it so long

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for a light that never comes

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Waiting for a light that never comes

...

When I was young, they told me, they said

Make your bed, you lie in that bed

A King can only rein 'till instead

There comes that day, it's off with his head

The night gets darkest right before dawn

What don't kill you makes you more strong

You'll have my mercy, then when you're gone

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for a light that never comes

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Waiting for a light that never comes

And I told them; nah you don't know me

Lightning above and a fire below me

You can not catch me, can not hold me

You can not stop, much less control me

When it rains, it pours

When the floodgates open, brace your shores

That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors

Say it's all you can take, better take some more

...

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Waiting for a light that never comes!

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for a light that never comes

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Waiting for a light that never comes

...
