Lyrics:
It’s too damn late now to hear those cries
It’s too damn painful to try and walk that line again
And why?
No direction, you’re on your own
There’s so much tension but never letting go
No… I’m never letting go
I’m fighting for my life
Lighting up the sky
Burning through a life
If I had only known when I was so young
Never taking time
Never take it slow
But would I be alive? Or would I ever know?
If I... wasn’t lighting up the sky
It’s growing, changing, it calls my name
Not knowing maybe it’s what’s expected of me, oh man
It’ll never be the same
It burns inside me
The fire drives me
It’s all I can do, so let’s break on through

This is easily the best Godsmack song I’ve ever heard That ending with the classics gave me CHILLS Absolutely beautiful album On behalf of all of the fans: thank you godsmack

[@DIAMONDLIFE66]

Tony is phenomenal

[@synystargaming2025]

It is a very good song, Probably my favorite on the album. I like how they incorporate voodoo there at the end! Godsmack is great! 1st headliner I've seen live at Rockfest in cadott WI!

[@steves3688]

AGREEEEEE!

@@800game it's so bad ass. They are real musicians. Classy group. They dont like drama. They play it from there hearts.

[@rubenrodriguez9361]

this song reminds me of something diffrent off 1000 hp criminal they dont play it live

[@eddiedubitsky8378]

The first time i heard this song I started to cry...so much memories of when i was a kid, 10 years old listening to Godsmack Awake album on cassette tape. Thank you Godsmack for always being there for me when I felt like no one was there with your music. Godsmack and Slipknot are the reason why I'm still alive today. Thank you Godsmack for being there for me, Godsmack fan for life.

[@BalancedSpirit79]

Same. I first listened to both of those bands in college and I first saw Godsmack live when I was 21. Their music gave me life.

[@michaelrainerii3547]

I believe I was 14 when the Album with Moon baby and Voodoo came out. I'm 38 now and haven't missed an album yet. I learned to play bass guitar listening to early Godsmack. Influenced everyone around me including my family to listen to Godsmack growing up. I recognized a hint of the first songs in this one. Long story as short as possible but thanks for a lifetime of great music. It has definitely pulled me through tough times in life.

this whole album has just sent me back 10 years. its amazing how they still capture that.

[@ltraltier6009]

Man they just killed it with this album. Thank you Godsmack for never giving up that classic 2000’s feel.

[@Blackphillipsupporter]

My dad introduced me to these guys at 8 years old in 1998. Been a hell of a journey listening to them as i've grown up. If this is the end of the ride I just want to say thank you Sully!

[@TheMDbauS]

This might be their best song to date. It combines everything that makes them a great band. First time I listened to this I actually cried a little. Thank you Sully, Robbie, Tony and Shannon for the memories! I will see you live at least one more time. ❤️🔥

[@kimbiele-nm4hy]

You definitely nailed it. I felt the same when I heard this song

[@kimbiele-nm4hy]

Would love to see them in the Merrimack Valley on their final tour. An outside venue so they can absolutely light up the sky!

[@chadneider9511]

They’re not ending their careers anytime soon, they prolly got another 7-8 years left in them, and they’ll give us at least 2 more albums, I could def see it, there’s no way they’re done

[@jdegenerate1]

All I gotta say is Thank You Godsmack for making 27 years of badass music, people seem to forget we grow and we change, everyone does whether they are in denial about it or not. I believe you guys found your new sound outside your hard edge music you did earlier in your career. Too bad you guys can't explore it further. Been a fan since 2002 hearing "I Stand Alone" in the movie The Scorpion King, glad you guys are still gonna be touring though, Long Live Godsmack, Thank You Sully, Robbie, Tony And Shannon!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@evelyns.7242]

you have saved me through your music, thank you 🙌

[@sullyerna8169]

Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.

[@metallicstorm2370]

Idc what anyone says this album is S+. They said this could be their last album meaning this was their last song… I think they proved that with the rewind at the end. What a way to end an era of one of the best bands of all time . Thank you Godsmack for what you have done for me, and music itself. Never will be forgotten

[@jowsullivan9116]

Absolutely amazing!!!! One of the best bands ever

[@jeffmusgrave2458]

Sully's range with his voice is endless and this band is a diamond in the rough compared to what you call music today🎸🎤🎂👍

[@billsutherland3935]

Pretty emotional song, especially when you listen to it in the context of it potentially being their last song.

[@CArsonthedevilsaint]

Facts, that's how I was feeling, started to bring tears to my eyes. It made me happy but sad at the same time.

[@oasis4ever718]

I thought the same thing...love the ending. You hear all their massive hits. It's awesome and chilling at the same time

[@christianwitte406]

Definitely not their last song. We'll get another album in a few years

[@synystargaming2025]

So you're saying Godsmack is done writing?

[@billsutherland3935]

@@synystargaming2025 that’s what they’ve claimed. I’m skeptical.

[@VenusianGoddess18]

Thank you Shannon Larkin & the crew for dedicating tonight's show & your drum sticks to the Goddess. You truly touched my heart & soul. ❤️

[@RockAvengers]

This entire album. My entire life can be summed up with it all. Godsmack has been there since the day I discovered them in 1999. They're forever embedded over my heart. I am left humbled once again. GODSMACKED. If you will. What a way to close out their final album, with the title track, and the final line being from their first album. The song that put them on the map. The song and final line itself, leaving hope. Special thanks to Sully Erna, Robbie Merrill, Tony Rombola, and Shannon Larkin for an amazing 27 years of pure fire, connection, energy, humbleness, relativity, and most importantly being the one and only Godsmack. You are and always will be a part of me, and even my soon-to-be-thirteen-year-olds lives cause I named her after Skylar.🤷‍♂️🥰 Even if Godsmack is done with new music, I look forward to the futures of us all. Thank you guys again for helping make this world a brighter place. Light up the sky. 🤘✌️🥰😭🥰😭🥰😭🥰😭🥰✌️🤘 💜❤️‍🔥🤘❤️‍🔥💜❤️‍🔥☯️❤️‍🔥💜❤️‍🔥🤘❤️‍🔥💜

[@karenkeedwell7026]

Nothing like going out with a bang, but please don't break up! I got tix to see you in Mansfield MA with my daughter, who also likes you guys, but is more into Staind. Generation gap...lol. I'm so psyched! You guys introduced me to Wicca. I know that's always been my calling, just didn't know what it was growing up. You will always be in my heart and soul. And I pray to my Goddess Hecate that you guys stay safe and well, and come back with another album! Love you all so much for your wonderful songs that have truly inspired me through a lot of tough times. Blessed Be and all my love ❤️🤟

[@cameroncummings6020]

Jaw dropped for a solid 10 minutes. No words. Just thought about how this is the best album ever written and thought this is what makes Godsmack the best band ever.

[@metaldrums8711]

Godsmack is cool but I think I stand alone album is better

[@cameroncummings6020]

@Metal Drums respectable opinion. Faceless is such a badass album. I love the oracle and awake!

[@anthonymanning69]

They saved the best for last

[@vernonlarson7016]

Dude. I know. Its definitely my favorite band.

[@jaycolt1986]

I love this album. Been a fan since "I Stand Alone" was released in 2002. I'm sure the main complaint "fans" will have is that it's not heavy sounding. However, for me it's still great music, it didn't need to be heavy like Awake. This is a perfect swan song album guys. So many different emotions.

[@gunnardegard1154]

Wow!! It was about time that Godsmack made a new album. I LOVE IT..!

[@donniechristian8467]

Sucks this is probably the last one

[@OOTWL]

This is how you end the chapter in a book. Hearing this classic tracks in the background as farewell in the ending of this track and being their final song to ever be released in this world really is something.

[@steamschaefer4813]

As a fan from the beginning and my favorite song being time bomb, this has moved to my all time favorite peice. Sully you wasnt lying when this was the best writing they have done. This...I cant get it loud enough!!!

[@justinbriggs3080]

Such an amazing song from beginning to end, I love it all the sound and the lyrics definitely hit hard and I also really love how the end of growing old fades into this song, so amazingly awesome 🤘😎🤘
