Batten Down the Hatches Lyrics

Oh batten down the hatches
Seems the wind is coming soon
And all these things you're protecting now
We'll see what they're worth
And what you take first from the fire

Seems possessions can't possess you now
All out here in white and gold
All stacked high to impress you now
And it can not be told
How the story unfolds

I'm walking away from everything
That can tear me apart and bury me
I'm pushing myself back out
So leave me now
Oh leave with me now

These old worn shoes are filled with dust
I've got the sun at my back
It feels like something is stalking me
But I will not feel fear
My mission is clear

I'm walking away from everything
That can tear me apart and bury me
I'm pushing myself, back out
Oh leave with me now
Oh leave with me now

I'm walking away from everything
That can tear me apart and bury me
I'm pushing myself back out
Leave with me now
Leave with me now

Oh batten down the hatches
Seems the wind is coming soon
