I was down to zero
still an unsung hero
waiting for my ship to come to shore
I stood empty handed
like a seagull stranded
watching all the other seagulls soar
I was slowly losing hope
twisting frayed ends of the rope
in a suicidal fantasy
I was going to extremes
losing sight of all my dreams again
i never thought i'd win
[guitar solo]
I was blinded by the pain
running wild through the rain
in a parody of extacy
I was inches from the edge
fingers clinging to the ledge again
i never thought i'd win
[chorus]
win in the end
i'm gonna win in the end
win in the end
i'm gonna win in the end
Got to keep my cool
i am not the fool
everyone expects to play me for
I could change the pattern
steal a ring from saturn
forge myself into a man-of-war
I am equal to the task
i won't hide behind the mask
what you see is what you'll get from me
I am stronger than they think
they can force me to the brink again
but now i know i'll win
[chorus]
I will steal the thunder
rolling out from under
every cloud that's clashing(?) in the sky
Like a true defender
i will not surrender
why should i lie down for them and die?
I am equal to the task
i won't hide behind the mask
what you see is what you'll get from me
I am stronger than they think
they can force me to the brink again
but now i know i'll win
[chorus]
