Biography:
Skillet is an American rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, consisting of all Christian members.
Skillet formed in 1996 with two members: John Cooper, former vocalist for Tennessee progressive rock band Seraph, and Ken Steorts, former guitarist for Urgent Cry. The two bands met through touring together, but those bands disbanded soon after, so John and Ken's pastor encouraged them to form their own band as a side-project. Coming from different styles of rock music, they decided to name the experiment Skillet.

G# F# G# G# F# Bm C#m D#m (x2)
[Verse 1]
F#
I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me in the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
A
And my strength is fading fast
F# G# A
You breathe into me at last
[Chorus]
F# A
I'm awake! I'm alive!

F# A
Now it's my time
F# G#
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

[Verse 2]
F#
I'm at war with the word 'cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
A
And I feel like giving in
F# G# A
You breathe into me again
[Chorus]
