Breath by breath you take still you're gasping for air miles and miles you move into abyss you stare running form the plight mighty grip it's hold and that hunger's hanging on but never to the fold With endurance as the earth behind you burns you can feel heat keep your will and never turn come on, follow closely come on, end this slavery come on, where you're going any place but here and you pray for more hope so this will run its course every day you move handcuffs they lose their force abandon all you know so destitution hides united in despair still makes it harder to divide With exhaustion as the earth behind you melts You can feel heat But your need for living fails A logical reason for being Is quickly drifting away People prove fiendishly greedy Each time you try to believe It's hard to be defiant There's ways to kill the giant Slaughtered by pins
