[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Clock’s ticking in my ribs
Cold steel in my hands
Blood sings in my ears
I know exactly where I stand
[Verse 1]
Scars like tally marks
Etched across my skin
Every loss
Every sin
All the places I have been
Name stitched to my jacket
Frayed thread
Fading dye
But my heart’s still a weapon
Pointed straight at the sky
[Chorus]
This is my last war
One last fight before I go
If I burn
I burn in glory
Let the whole world know
When my lungs give out
And my bones turn into dust
I will die on my feet
With my fist raised up
[Verse 2]
Friends turned to faces
On the backs of my eyes
They shout from the shadows
“Live before you die”
Fear crawls up my spine
I just stare it down
If this is my ending
I’ll make it shake the ground
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[growled vocals]
If the reaper wants me
He can meet me in the pit
I’ve got rage
I’ve got love
Every ounce
Every bit
[clean vocal over wide guitars]
I won’t beg for more time
I won’t curse the night
I was born for this moment
Born for this fight
[Chorus]
