why do they seem to have such a way
of taking the shine out of your eyes
crushing your will focused in on the kill
they've sold out truth for compromise

will you stand your ground
you can feel every eye upon you now
choices hard to make though options are so clear
and still the fear consumes your mind

let it go
this false front of control
because they don't believe you'll ever win
you know you're not on your own but you feel so alone
and that's what will kill you in the end

don't fold on this hand
you may never have these cards again
let them know where you stand
and don't ever back down

this could be your finest hour
this could be your victory

don't go cold
this time you've got to be bold
it feels like you're stranded on the sun
no one cares where you place as long as you stay in the race
there's nothing to gain if you don't run
