Take Control Lyrics by Killswitch Engage

Atonement

2019

[Verse 1]
In the darkness, swallowed into the night
Trapped in the clutches of my indecision
Falling further past the point of control
So desperate to cast away this feeling
Cry out for rescue
Cry out for relief and give me peace
There must be a way to stifle this decay
There must be a means, means to an end

[Chorus]
When the fear and panic takes a hold
You must take control
When your sorrow drags you down below
Take control
Take control

[Verse 2]
No more wallowing, battle my constraints
I'm the sinner and the saint

[Chorus]
When the fear and panic takes a hold
Look within your soul
When your sorrow drags you down below
You must take control
Your strength will unfold, take control

[Bridge]
I must find a way
So my words can penetrate
And I pray that you understand
You understand your pain someday

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
When the fear and panic takes a hold
You must take control
When your sorrow drags you down below
You must take control

[Outro]
Look within your soul
Take control
