Lyrics & Translation

“The Catalyst” offers a unique opportunity to explore complex themes of technology, humanity, and consequence through its powerful and evolving soundscape. For language learners, the song's dynamic structure, from Mike Shinoda's rhythmic verses to Chester Bennington's soaring choruses, provides a diverse range of vocabulary and emotional expression. Its departure from Linkin Park's earlier style makes it a special track that showcases artistic growth and a willingness to tackle profound subjects.

[English]

God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no!
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no!
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God, save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no!
God, save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no!
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light!
God, save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
And it can't be outfought (lift me up)
It can't be outdone (let me go)
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no! (Lift me up)
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought (lift me up)
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no! (Lift me up)
God, bless us everyone (let me go)
We're a broken people living under loaded gun (lift me up)
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone (let me go)
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
