Torn Down
Resilience Rising: Battling Storms of Loss in Brent Newbold's 'Torn Down'
Lyrics
You tore down
You caused destruction
You tore down
You caused destruction (repeated)
I can see the coming of the storm
Anticipation of a challenging time
Batten down the windows and the doors
Prepare for the impending difficulties
Lightning flashes riding cross the sky
Intense storm with lightning
Death upon us lifting you
Death is approaching, elevating someone
On high
On high (repeated)
The eye
The center of the storm
Watches over you and I
An observer, possibly fate, overseeing
But it took you and with it everything
Loss of everything accompanied by death
And tore it down
Destroyed
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing
What you tore down
Rebuilding what was torn down
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
Rebuilding
Rebuilding (repeated)
You tore down
You caused destruction (repeated)
You tore down
-I can see the writing on the wall
Foreseeing an inevitable downfall
Ignorance came just before the fall
Ignorance preceding a calamity
Thunder rolls echoes cross the sky
Thunder signaling the approaching danger
Death upon us lifting you
Death is near, elevating someone (repeated)
On high
On high (repeated)
The eye
The center of the storm (repeated)
Watches over you and I
An observer, possibly fate, overseeing (repeated)
But it took you and with it everything
Loss of everything accompanied by death (repeated)
And tore it down
Destroyed (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
What you tore down
Rebuilding what was torn down (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
Rebuilding
Rebuilding (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
What you tore down
Rebuilding what was torn down (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
Rebuilding
Rebuilding (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
What you tore down
Rebuilding what was torn down (repeated)
I spent my whole life rebuilding
Lifetime spent reconstructing (repeated)
Rebuilding
Rebuilding (repeated)
