When we were made
It was no accident
We were tangled up like branches in a flood
I come as a blade
When we were made
It was no accident
We were tangled up like branches in a flood
I come as a blade
A sacred guardian
So you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood
[Chorus]
You got me in a chokehold
You got me in a chokehold
You've got me in a...
[Verse 2]
Beneath the stormy seas
Above the mountain peaks
It's all the same to me
It makes no difference
I've seen my days unfold
Done the impossible
I'll turn my walls to gold to bring you home again
So show me that which I can not see
Even if it hurts me
Even if I can't sleep
Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake
[Chorus]
You've got me in a chokehold
You've got me in a chokehold
You've got me in a chokehold
You've got me in a chokehold
[Outro]
Even if it hurts me
Even if I can't sleep
Show me the way
Wakati tulifanywa
Haikuwa ajali
Tulikuwa tumefungwa kama matawi kwenye mafuriko
Ninakuja kama blade
Mlezi mtakatifu
Kwa hivyo unaniweka mkali na kujaribu thamani yangu katika damu
[Chorus]
Umenipata kwenye chokoholi
Umenipata kwenye chokoholi
Umenipata ...
[Mstari wa 2]
Chini ya bahari ya dhoruba
Juu ya kilele cha mlima
Ni sawa kwangu
Haifanyi tofauti yoyote
Nimeona siku zangu zikitokea
Imefanywa haiwezekani
Nitageuza kuta zangu kuwa dhahabu ili kukuleta nyumbani tena
Kwa hivyo nionyeshe kile ambacho siwezi kuona
Hata ikiwa inaniumiza
Hata kama siwezi kulala
Ah, na ingawa tunatenda nje ya jukumu letu takatifu kuwa macho kila wakati
[Chorus]
Umenipata kwenye chokehold
Umenipata kwenye chokehold
Umenipata kwenye chokehold
Umenipata kwenye chokehold
[Outro]
Hata ikiwa inaniumiza
Hata kama siwezi kulala
Nioneshe njia
