In the End
orig. Linkin' Park
lyrics by Peter Chung '02


(It starts with)
One thing He said to do
They listened to the devil and ate the fruit
First ones to fall
It was one for all
They put up the great wall
(All I know)
Walls keep on hemming me in,
Keep my distance from the King of the kings
Feel 'em separate me until I can pay
The walls keep life away
(It s so unreal)
What is the thing I crave?
The way my heart's made it will be a slave
Slave to a thing; or slave to the King?
I wasted my life tryin' to
(Flee the grave)
I kept everything inside, and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

Chorus:
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It didn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It wasn't me that mattered
One thing He had to do
To come down from heaven and make us new
He took the fall
It was one for all
He broke down the great wall
(I ve tried so hard)
To find a way out of my poverty
Thinking that I could build up my property
Remembering all the things that He's done for me
I'm surprised that I came so (Far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that I knew me back then
'Cause it all comes back to Him
(In the end)
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I've put my trust in You
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There s only one thing that I know
I've put my trust in You
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing that I know
