What if the world brings you down to your knees?
Would it kill your desire?
Floodgates open releasing the seas
Would it put out your fire?
And when the walls go crumbling in
Do you fall to the ground?
Crushed by ruins, much to your chagrin
Don't let yourself be bound
You've got to fight!
Living my life, on the edge of a knife, there's nowhere to turn
Straight on ahead, be quick or be dead, get up or get burned
Unstoppable force, feel no remorse for what we've done
No turning back, prepare for attack, there's no time to run
All knobs to the right, lets slaughter tonight, the posers will die
Too loud for the crowd, too drunk to be proud, no one can deny
Fulfilling your need, for raw sonic speed, it's taking your breath
Die for metal, live for death, thrash until there's nothing left
You weigh your troubles pound for pound
No wonder that the burden's holding you down
An ounce of sorrow, an ounce of regret
It's the same, you're to blame
So many forces try to hold you down make you cower
You've got to prove to them that you've got the power
The reckless speed inside that won't let you stop
Cut the brakes, hit the lights, take it over the top
What if the world brings you down to your knees?
Would it kill your desire?
Floodgates open releasing the seas
Would it put out your fire?
And when the walls go crumbling in
Do you fall to the ground?
Crushed by ruins, much to your chagrin
Don't let yourself be bound
You've got to fight, fight for your life
Right on your course, stay your course and don't lose sight
Of what it is that drives you onward
Not for them to decide
Why should you hide when you've got so much to do?
Your fate begins and ends with you
