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
