You must listen to this story
Pay attention to this tale
For you to bathe in glory

You must be doomed to fail

Give yourself no head start

Taking in the breath is easy

Making is the hardest part

This is a cause for alarm

Get on your knees and pray
G# G
Don't be a knight in armour

Without a beast to slay
Verse 2:

There is no dress rehearsal
There's no easy lesson learned
Better to be breathing fire
G Cm
Than to have your bridges burned

Let it be your only duty
Dedicate it to your own

If you gonna fight like lion
Someone ought get murdered off
[Chorus x2]
[Interlude] Fm Cm Fm Cm G
Cm
Fire fall upon us
And lighting shall strike the Earth
For you to reach salvation
G Cm
You must value what it's worth

When there are great expectation
There is no one else to blame

You can either shoot for freedom
G Cm
Or you drag a ball and chain
[Chorus x2]
