[Verse 1] Born by a promise to a barren home, Marked from the womb as a Nazarite known. Strength in his sinews, fire in his pride, Riddles and vengeance went walking beside. A lion fell open beneath his bare hand; Foxes bore torches across Philistine land. [Dark Refrain] Strong enough to break the gate, Weak enough to court his fate. Strong enough to strike a host, Weak where he trusted and boasted most. [Verse 2] Delilah asked till his spirit grew sore; Silver stood waiting behind every door. He told of the razor that never had passed; Sleep took his secret, the locks fell at last. Eyes put out, grinding in prison's low room, The champion turned in the circle of doom. [Bridge] Yet hair began growing. A prayer rose low. The rulers made sport Where their false praises flowed. [Final Chorus] Strength in the ruins, Hands on the pillars apart. Strength in the ruins, One final cry from the heart. The house of Dagon trembled, Stone answered pressure and pain; He slew more in dying Than through all the years of his reign. Strength in the ruins, Judgment fell down with the frame.
