[Verse 1]
Once I felt so strong
I could walk through hell and back
Now I've suffered defeat
And it seems my strength is gone

[Chorus]
The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel tore down my defense
Took precedence and bred malevolence
The spoke in my wheel, my destined achilles heel

[Verse 2]
Lies, it's rusty knife twisted through my heart
Pain the like of which I've nevеr felt before
I fеll down, now I must rise
To recall my strength once more

[Chorus]
The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel tore down my defense
Took precedence and bred malevolence
The spoke in my wheel, my destined achilles heel
[Bridge]
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see
Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is
How we choose to define the journey within our mind
Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is
How we choose to define the journey within our mind
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see

[Chorus]
The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel
All that I've seen ever was and all I should've been
Fading like a dream, my destined achilles heel

[Guitar Solo]
(Achilles heel
Fading like a dream
My achilles heel aaah)
[Chorus]
Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is
How we choose to define the journey within our mind
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see

[Outro]
One often meets his destiny in the road he takes to avoid it
