Top of the Mountain

[Intro – low, distant] Face down on the floor Beaten and bruised and scarred Betrayed and abandoned Born with a fractured heart Dragged through a life of loss and knives in my back Yet through the blood I claw up, still alive [Build] Even when the odds are stacked against me Even when no shield is raised to defend me Even when the universe conspires Even when the road is lined with spikes and barbed wire Even when the path's full of haters and critics Even when I'm sick of fighting, feeling restricted Even when I'm backstabbed and slandered and damned Even when I'm bleeding, I rise up on my last stand [Pre-Chorus – call & response] NO SURRENDER (NO SURRENDER) NO SUBMISSION (NO SUBMISSION) NO SURRENDER NO SUBMISSION [Chorus – first hit] Pushing forward Harder And FASTER Persevering I am the master plan A plan to overcome and overthrow To crush the impossible Climbing higher Further And LONGER With more fury Only getting stronger A vow to rise above it all Until I stand on top of the mountain [Breakdown] Rage in my veins Steel in my spine I am the storm I redraw the bloodline Tear down the heavens Shatter the crown I was forged in the fire I will never bow down [Drop – blended hook] Pushing forward Harder And FASTER NO SURRENDER NO SUBMISSION Persevering I am the master plan I was forged in the fire I will never bow down [Chant] Climbing higher Further And LONGER With more fury Only getting stronger NO SURRENDER NO SUBMISSION [Final Chorus – peak] Pushing forward Harder And FASTER Persevering I am the master plan A plan to overcome and overthrow To crush the impossible Climbing higher Further And LONGER With more fury Only getting stronger A vow to rise above it all Until I stand on top of the mountain Until I stand on top of the mountain NO SURRENDER NO SUBMISSION
