[K. Vanderhoof / R. Munroe] You've got to live for the moment, you've got to go for the throat You're given only one chance and you know that life's too short Feel your pulse getting stronger, no fear in your eyes Never showing weakness and you never compromise The hero's soul, drifting forever The hero's soul, always searching for better Until the end of the road Adversity is a challenge it's not something you ignore And your life is such a struggle and your back's against the wall Lost in swirling madness, lost without a home Just rid yourself of torment and hit the open road The journey through this life can be an unforgiving hell Your loneliness is safety , as far as I can tell You've put your best foot forward, you've taken two steps back You're getting nowhere faster and now there's no turning back
