[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
You say you're not gonna fight
'Cause no one will fight for you
'Cause you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to

And you say that faith is a lie
And fear is your only truth
And you're sure that everyone else
Is feeling the way you do

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
You say you've hurt for so long
That pain isn't something new
But, don't think the things that they've done
Predict what you're going to do

The truth is that trust is a gift
It's something we all can lose
So hold on, it's not where it goes
It's where it can lead you to

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Hold on, it's not where it goes
It's where it can lead you to
Hold on, it's not where it goes
It's where it can lead you to

Hold on, it's not where it goes
It's where it can lead you to
Hold on, it's not where it goes
It's where it can lead you to

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
