Ignite the strength within

challenge that urge to retreat and try again later, who guarantees there will be a"later"?

you want the world on a platter
you say that pain will not matter
and in the end? you flee, you run
when your ambition's just begun

you want them to proudly scream your name
you think you rule in this game
but in the end? you lose, you run
while your turn's not even done

you want the pride of heroes of old
you want your statue made of gold
but in the end? you fall then run
didn't even have some fun

you want your name to crack stones
you want your fists to break bones
but in the end? you bleed, you run

and then what? roll back and let's see

pain is inevitable so take it and don't flee
loss is a trade for something in return so wait and see
failure is a strict teacher, so stick around if you want your degree
and wounds that don't kill can make you stronger, every fighter will agree

so, stand firm next time your legs feel like running
slap yourself awake when your spirit starts sleeping
grab your piece of this life, even if it's wrapped in flames
otherwise, you lose it to someone else and become one of those forgotten names
