Not Afraid
by Skillet

Album: Revolution

Verse 1: John Cooper
Escape from the past that was stolen
And all your toxic fumes inhaled
The scapegoat of angels who've fallen
But my soul is not for sale

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger
Even though you tore me up
Left me with sores and blood
I was suffering
You could never break my will
It made me stronger still
I was smothering
I can't breathe

Chorus: John Cooper
Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

Post-Chorus: John Cooper
My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I'm not afraid

Verse 2: John Cooper
You thought you would always control me
You clipped my wings, my dreams in two
I guess that you don't even know me
'Cause I'll never be like you

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger
And even though the threat is real
My backbone's made of steel
I'm fine, suffering
And when the pressure's in my face
I'll never bow or break
'Cause I'm not afraid
I can't breathe

Chorus: John Cooper
Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

Instrumental Break

Bridge: John Cooper & Jen Ledger
I can't breathe
Suffering
I can't breathe

Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger
Spent my whole life living underground (Oh)
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

Post-Chorus: John Cooper
My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I am not afraid

Outro: John Cooper & Jen Ledger
I can't breathe
Suffering
I can't breathe
