Machtkampf Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Flying high on blackened wings
Vengeance in my eyes
Colder than steel, instantly real
A new power flows through me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Reaching out for something (Something, something)
Knowing that it's there, somewhere

[Chorus]
All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

[Verse 2]
Bridges that I thought I crossed
Got to cross them all again
These paths that lead to nowhere
Mocked me all my life

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Reaching out for something (Something, something)
Knowing that it's there, somewhere
[Chorus]
All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

[Chorus]
All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

[Bridge]
Make a change
Break the chain
Make a change
End this game (Game, game, game, game)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Vengeance in my eyes
A new power flows in me
[Chorus]
All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

[Chorus]
All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

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 [?]
