The heart beats thud-thump thud-thump
Muscles burn with desire to be used
Reality slows to molasses
Focus becomes like diamond
And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on
Time becomes but a moment that spreads before me to infinity
All that I have and will become matter not beyond now
For I hear it in my soul the duet of death and destiny
I stand naked before the judgement of reality
And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on
The pain will come now or later
This I know is the cost of ecstasy
Sorrow for happiness, disappointment for dreams
For like the tide every thing must wax and wane
And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on
Like a ship in a typhoon
I must fight just to stay afloat
But to surrender is to meet oblivion
So I fight knowing not if I'll win but not ready to lose
And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on
