The Catalyst (Live 2017) Lyrics by Linkin Park

Linkin Park and Friends: Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington

2017

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Deryck Whibley]
God bless us, everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched, it can’t be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no

[Chorus: Deryck Whibley, Mike Shinoda]
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyonе
We're a broken pеople living under loaded gun
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Verse 2: Deryck Whibley & Mike Shinoda]
God save us, everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No!
God save us, everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No

[Chorus: Deryck Whibley, Mike Shinoda]
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Deryck Whibley]
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Deryck Whibley, Mike Shinoda, Deryck Whibley]
It can't be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone (Lift me up, let me go)
We’re a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought, it can't be outdone
It can’t be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!
God bless us, everyone (Lift me up, let me go)
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought, it can’t be outdone (Lift me up, let me go)
It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun
