Can't forget who I was or where I've been
Shed the skin of a hundred year war
Packed the bruises of combat and left the shells on the floor

And I won't go back
I won't go back

Empty faces look through me like I'm already gone
Will they see me when I become someone?
Lost in their world of images it doesn't matter what they see
When I'm farther I will learn how to be free

And i won't go back
I won't go back

Their words have scarred me like an old tattoo
Will I be forgiven when my blood runs blue?
I fight through the skin to discover who I am
And I won't regret who it is I become

And I won't go back
I won't go back

I will learn how to be free
I will learn how to be free
