Lyrics

Back Down

[Verse 1]

Hold me down

My vengeance roars

Fools abound

My patience folds

Wanderlust

My compass speaks

Home awaits

On this mountain's peak

[Chorus]

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

[Verse 2]

Praise our gods

They breed deceit

Truth is found

Where lions meet

[Chorus]

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

Ohhh, back down

[Verse 3]

Justice reigns

But not before

Freedom rides

On the back of war
