Back from the Dead Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm back from the dead!
[Verse 1]
Out of the black
Breaking free of the wasteland
Out of the mud
Crawling up through the quicksand
Leaving the dark, coming into the light
Don't lay me down, save your last rites
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm still standing above ground
[Chorus]
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
[Verse 2]
On the edge of the world getting lost in oblivion
To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner
Couldn't chain me down, couldn't cage me in
So keep your savior, give me back my sins
I'm back from the dead!
[Verse 1]
Out of the black
Breaking free of the wasteland
Out of the mud
Crawling up through the quicksand
Leaving the dark, coming into the light
Don't lay me down, save your last rites
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm still standing above ground
[Chorus]
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
[Verse 2]
On the edge of the world getting lost in oblivion
To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner
Couldn't chain me down, couldn't cage me in
So keep your savior, give me back my sins
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm still standing on the ground
[Chorus]
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
Down!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Back from the dead alive
Back from the other side
I'm back!!!!
[Chorus]
I'm back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
'Cause I'm still standing on the ground
[Chorus]
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
Down!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Back from the dead alive
Back from the other side
I'm back!!!!
[Chorus]
I'm back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don't bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn't hold me down!
[Outro]
Hell couldn't hold me down!
Hell couldn't hold me down
Hell couldn't hold me down!
Hell couldn't hold me down

What did Halestorm say about "Back from the Dead"?
Genius Answer
“Back From the Dead” is written about my mental health journey over the past few years. I was going through a really hard time, as we all have in our own ways. I found myself standing on the edge of the world getting completely lost in my own oblivion, but once again music saved me, and through writing my truth, I didn’t just let the darkness and depression in my mind dig me an early grave. I’ve erased my name from my headstone, so save your prayers, I’m back!
