Let me take you back to when I was killed and born again Woke up in the lake and faced my life and made it to a sin Burning up beneath the sun while my father played the black If he said, I've got a message for the madness of a boat *** you Every storm, I've got a message from below Getting out is not enough if nobody else can come If he's home, I've got a message for the men of both Here am I, take me to the barricades So I can look you in the eye when I spit in your face Here am I, take me to the barricades So when I meet you on the way, I will not take your place Did you think you could dig deep enough to bury me? It's over when I say it, you're not getting rid of me So walk into my fire, or step into my light Either way, it's gonna burn if you don't make this right Every storm, I've got a message from below Here am I, take me to the barricades So I can look you in the eye when I spit in your face Here am I, take me to the barricades So when I meet you on the way, I will not take your place Take me Getting out is not enough if nobody else can come If he's home, I've got a message for the men of both Here am I, take me to the barricades So I can look you in the eye when I spit in your face Here am I, take me to the barricades So when I meet you on the way, I will not take your place Here am I, take me to the barricades So I can look you in the eye when I spit in your face Here am I, take me to the barricades So when I meet you on the way, I will not take your place
