In Your Honor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you hear me, hear me screamin'
Breakin' in the muted sky?

This thunder heart, like bombs beatin'
Echoin' a thousand miles

[Chorus]
Mine is yours and yours is mine, there is no divide
In your honor, I would die tonight
Mine is yours and yours is mine, I will sacrifice
In your honor, I would die tonight
For you to feel alive


[Verse 2]
Can you feel me, feel me breathin'?
One last breath before I close my eyes
This sufferin' for receivin'
Deliver me into the other side


[Chorus]
Mine is yours and yours is mine, there is no divide
In your honor, I would die tonight
Mine is yours and yours is mine, I will sacrifice
In your honor, I would die tonight
For you to feel alive
[Outro]
For you to feel alive
For you to feel alive
For you to feel alive
Aaaaahhh!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

There was no better to way to open an album like this. It’s everything in one: anthemic, loud, moving, melodic, thrashy, it was Foo Fighters.

From the Grohl himself:

“The song itself was just inspired by going out on the campaign trail and experiencing such a strong sense of devotion and belief. People were getting together to make a difference, for the sake of something honourable. It’s that overwhelming feeling of connection with something. It could be love, it could be football, it could be music, it could be anything. I’m trying to keep it general so people don’t focus on one specific thing. It’s not a political record at all.” (http://www.fooarchive.com/features/kerrangmay05.htm)
