you've taken this too far
now it has to stop
once again
the table has turned
and i'm behind
picking up the pieces from the night
my face is scared
sometimes I feel that I can't trust myself at all
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
I float away to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside
this is war
can I take it anymore
i'm falling faster and bleeding more than i have bled before
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
circumstances mean nothing
when it's over we will be heroes
constantly pushing forward without any fear
if i erased the line between
forgotten days and memories
i'd never change
resolution made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
now it has to stop
once again
the table has turned
and i'm behind
picking up the pieces from the night
my face is scared
sometimes I feel that I can't trust myself at all
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
I float away to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside
this is war
can I take it anymore
i'm falling faster and bleeding more than i have bled before
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
circumstances mean nothing
when it's over we will be heroes
constantly pushing forward without any fear
if i erased the line between
forgotten days and memories
i'd never change
resolution made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away

resolution made (in vain)

life is yours to save (save it)

-Rock ON!-
picking up the pieces from the night
-he's always following clues which he knows nothing about
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
-The engine from the plane takes him back to the beginning
resolution made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
-he saves everyones' lives by sacrificing his own
Just some of my own thoughts on the interesting parrallels, take em or leave em.
"But I will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
circumstances mean nothing.
When it's over we will be heroes,
constantly pushing forward without any fear."
"this is war

So I agree emery had the idea of sexual temptation when writing the lyrics to this song. I take it a different way though. That's the great thing about art, everyone can interpret it a different way. Just another lyrically superior emery song.
every time the sky
breaks open with sunshine
and streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
I float away to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside
this is war
CAN I TAKE IT ANYMORE
I'M FALLING FASTER AND BLEEDING MORE THAN I HAVE BLED BEFORE
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you and victory will be mine in the end
--I thought the last part was a mental conversation/battle between Christ and Satan--
resolutions made (in vain)
to face (play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away
