Citizen Soldier - Face to Face lyrics

[Intro] I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell [Verse 1] What a terrifying place Left alone here in my head Remember every last mistake I can't forgive, I can't forget But if I face my darkest days Will I finally make my peace? With the past I buried deep inside The darkest part of me [Pre-Chorus] No, I will not be defined By the life I left behind You're gonna see I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees [Chorus] I'm face to face with the devil I am not afraid My life is worth the struggle My scars are my warpaint Face to face with the devil Pray, it's not too late My past will not define me I'm face to face [Post-Chorus] I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell [Verse 2] No one ever held my hand Always me against the world At war with monsters in my head Kept digging down 'til I hit gold I'm not ashamed of who I was You'll never take this fight from me You'll see, I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees [Chorus] I'm face to face with the devil I am not afraid My life is worth the struggle My scars are my warpaint Face to face with the devil Pray, it's not too late My past will not define me I'm face to face [Post-Chorus] I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell [Bridge] I was in such a dark place Something had to change So I faced it [Chorus] I'm face to face with the devil I am not afraid My life is worth the struggle My scars are my warpaint Face to face with the devil Pray, it's not too late My past will not define me I'm face to face [Post-Chorus] I fought the devil and I'll live to tell I fought the devil and I'll live to tell
