Flesh and Bone

I've gone through life white-knuckledIn the moments that left me behindRefusing to heed the yieldI penetrate the forcefields and the blindThey say I'll adjustGod knows I mustBut I'm not sure howThis natural selectionPicked me out to beA dark horse running in a fantasyFlesh and bone!And I'm running out of timeFlesh and bone!Somewhere outside that finish lineI square up and break through the chainsAnd I hit like a raging bullAnointed by the bloodI take the reignsCut from the clothOf the flag that bears the nameBattle bornAnd they'll call me the contenderThey'll listen for the bellWith my face flashing crimsonFrom the fires of hellWhat are you afraid of?And what are you made of?Flesh and bone!And I'm running out of timeFlesh and bone!And what are you made of?Flesh and bone!And I'm turning on the dimeFlesh and bone!This could decay (decay, decay, decay)This could decayLike the valley belowDefences are downStakes are high(Let's get out the crowd for a face of compassion)The fairytale end(To face out the journey to force us no more)The staggering blow(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)You lead with your chin(Sitting in your corner, just a compass and the sun)This could be realSimpleAnd what are you made of?Flesh and bone!And I'm running out of timeFlesh and bone!What are you made of?He places forwardTrading his blindnessFor the glow of loveAnd time is ragingNeed to raise your gameAnd ya always had itBut you never knewSo boots and saddlesGet on your feetThere's no surrenderBecause there's no retreatThe bells absolve himAnd there's more starting andWe are the descendantsOf giant men
