## Lyrics

### TV Version

*(Strike Back!)*

*The clock, it stops for not a single man, yet how do we fit into its plan?*

*Even though all we are is one percent, we're determined 'cuz we can.*

*We fall. We fail. We have a broken sail; but that's not the end of our Tail!*

*The future that I'm lookin' towards- yeah, I see you and me.*

*"Bring it on! 'cuz I'm just gonna grow up in the battle HEY! This thunder's still burning my fire!*

*Ain't nothin' gonna stop me. I gotta light this nightmare, 'cuz I wanna see the future!*

*Past, future, and now- it's the time that we live in. I ain't scared of my past 'cuz I'm 'mitted to the future.*

*Yeah, I'm screaming out for my pride!"*

*This fire burning in my soul; it screams to me to give my all! Today...*

*("I'm never falling down; blow off the tailwind; now rise up, my destiny!")*

*I know I gotta shield your smile from all the world's evil trials, always...*

*("I gotta blast off the pain for you and me! Now our sorrow is R.I.P.!")*

*Now let's STRIKE BACK!*

*My mind inside, it screams out for my life while I dig the dirt just to survive.*

*I don't care about the odds I see- I will not die or cry!*

*The pain, the rain; though that it is what all I know, I won't fall down. No, I won't let go!*

*There's still that future that I see- one that's bright, with you and me!*

*"It's a counter'tack in daybreak- soldiers, follow me now!*

*Don't you ever stop! We pay it back in spades, right?!*

*With the flames, you always hit that playback, 'cuz it's the day to look up to the heaven birds!*

*Struggle, sorrow; they'll disappear like bubbles, but no one can smite our my own dragonic candle!*

*I'm screaming out for your pride!"*

*"The lightning that's within my mind will carve a path so we can find, the way...*

*("Nobody can blow my fire- it won't erase! I'll rise above the grey darkened world!")*

*You know that the world cannot wait! I know that we've got what it takes, to win...*

*("Don't blind your eyes if your lost on the way! You know I care- I'm gonna be your light!")*

*So take my hands!*

*"What are we living for?*

*We live—for—this—shit."*

***We gotta stand up and go with the pride. It's like a sun risin' way over the clouds!***

***We gotta stand up and go with the pride. It's like a sun risin' way over the clouds!***

*("Don't blind your eyes if your lost on the way! You know I care- I'm gonna be your light!")*

*So take my hands!*
