I’ve gone through life white knuckled in the moments that left me behind
Refusing to heed the yield, I penetrate the force field in the blind
They say I’ll adjust, God knows I must, but I’m not sure how
This natural selection picked me out to be a dark horse running in a fantasy
Flesh and Bone
And i’m running out of time
Flesh and Bone
Somewhere outside that finish line I square up and break through the chains
And I hit like a raging bull, anointed by the blood I take the reigns
Cut from the cloth of the flag that bears the name: “Battle Born”
And they’ll call me the contender, I’ll listen for the bell
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell,
(What are you afraid of?)
And what are you made of?
Flesh and Bone
And I’m running out of time
Flesh and Bone
And what are you made of?
Flesh and Bone
Man I’m turning on a dime
Flesh and Bone
This could decay
Like the valley below
Defenses are down
Stakes are high
The fairy tale ends
A staggering blow
You level your chin
Well this could be real simple…
And what are you made of?
Flesh and Bone
And I’m running out of time
Flesh and Bone
What are you made of?
He faces forward
Trading in his blindnessfor the world of love
His heart is raging
May he rage in vain
And you always had it
But you never knew
So boots and saddles
Get on your feet
But there’s no surrender
‘Cause there’s no retreat
The bells have sounded
This must end
With an ascendance
Of giant men
