Take me instead
I'll stand in the middle
Martyr once said
Hoping to deliver us

Take me instead
I'll stand in the middle
When the [bad word] red
Hoping for deliverance
Defiant
I’ll [bad word] the shelter in the hope
That my death gives more before oblivion

I'm hoping that the [bad word] dry yet

I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am 
I am all of who I am 
I the tested 
I the broken stand

Take me instead
I'll stand unforgiven
When the [bad word] red
Hoping this delivers us
Defiant
I'm [bad word] the shelter in the hope
That my death gives more
Before oblivion
Hoping that the [bad word] dry yet

I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am 
I am all of who I am 
I the tested 
I the broken stand
On the inside

Born a slave here in denial
But I am free now
I am just holding my own sacred line
That I will keep on following
For the one wears the eyes that I conceived
Mine offered up
I will brace, bleed and defy
The moment that the [bad word] 

I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am 
Both the liar and the honest man
I the tested 
I the broken stand

I'm hoping to deliver us
Hoping that the [bad word] dry
