I was afraid,
Of what would come.
But now I know,
Where I came from.
I'm just another man born to lead.
Until I'm on my knees,
I will bleed.
I have to keep fighting to succeed,
And break these fucking chains,
So I'm free.
I won't die a hero,
And I won't die in vain.
Make this one chance worth it,
And your name will remain.
I won't live a lie,
And I won't die a fake.
I'll carry the world,
Until my bones break.
I still feel alone in my head.
But I will search until I am dead.
I'll never let them down;
Who I've lead.
Just don't forget the words that I said.
I won't die a hero,
And I won't die in vain.
Make this one chance worth it,
And your name will remain.
I won't live a lie,
And I won't die a fake.
I'll carry the world,
Until my bones break.
Don't stake me down.
I have a reason to live.
A reason to die alone,
Looking forward.
So I can see the end,
Of everything I never could be.
Spit into the image of what you want me to be.
I won't die a hero,
And I won't die in vain.
Make this one chance worth it,
And your name will remain.
I won't live a lie,
And I won't die a fake.
I'll carry the world,
Until my bones break.
