Lyrics

[00:24.15] I've gone through life white-knuckled
[00:26.65] In the moments that left me behind
[00:30.40] Refusing to heed the yield
[00:33.27] I penetrate the force fields in the blind
[00:38.21] They say I'll adjust
[00:41.21] God knows I must
[00:43.08] But I'm not sure how
[00:45.97] This natural selection picked me out to be
[00:50.96] A dark horse running in a fantasy
[00:54.02]
[00:55.02] and
[00:59.27] And I'm running out of time,
[01:02.64] and
[01:04.58]
[01:08.68] Somewhere outside that finish line
[01:11.18] I square up and break through the chains
[01:14.86] And I hit like a raging bull
[01:17.92] Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
[01:22.80] Cut from the cloth, of a flag that
[01:26.49] Bears the name of "Battle Born"
[01:30.36] They'll call me the contender
[01:32.24] They'll listen for the bell
[01:34.80] With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell
[01:38.49]
[01:40.18] are you afraid
[01:43.68] And what are you made of?
[01:46.86] and
[01:51.18] And I'm running out of time,
[01:54.44] and
[01:57.70] And what are you made of?
[02:02.13] and
[02:06.50] Man, I'm turning on a dime,
[02:09.69] and
[02:11.91]
[02:15.66] could
[02:18.52] This could decay
[02:21.89] Like the valley below
[02:25.94] Defences are down
[02:30.13] The stakes are high
[02:31.51] the crowd for a face of
[02:33.94] The fairytale end
[02:35.07] face off the journey that fathers no
[02:37.63] The staggering blow
[02:38.82] find the truth in the roots of
[02:41.57] You lead with your chin
[02:42.94] with your corners, just a compass and the
[02:45.50] This could be real
[02:47.07] with your corners, just
[02:48.44] Simple
[02:50.19]
[03:05.34] And what are you made of?
[03:08.40] and
[03:12.77] And I'm running out of time
[03:15.96] and
[03:20.96] What are you made of?
[03:23.15]
[03:24.96] He faces forward,
[03:26.52] Trading in his blindness for the world of love,
[03:30.40] And time is raging, may it rage in vain,
[03:34.04] And you always had it, but you never knew,
[03:37.79] So boots and saddles, get on your feet,
[03:41.73] There's no surrender, cause there's no retreat,
[03:45.37] The bells are sounding, bring this match to an end,
[03:49.49] We are the descendents of giant men.
[03:52.49]
