[Verse 1] The dust is settling on the field of war You’re standing where a thousand fell before The golden trophy glitters in your hand But shifting tides are moving through the sand Don't let the laurel rest upon your brow The past is dead, the only fight is now The peak you summited is just a step On paths where secret promises are kept! [Chorus] Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The crown is heavy and the road is long It’s the courage to continue that keeps you strong! Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The fire in your spirit is the only light To carry the conviction through the blackest night! [Verse 2] The iron shattered and the plan fell through The sky is gray and nothing feels like true You hit the concrete with a hollow sound And watched your dreams get leveled to the ground But scars are maps of where you’ve dared to go The seeds of power in the wreckage grow Wipe the blood and ashes from your eyes It’s time for the adrenaline to rise! [Chorus] Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The crown is heavy and the road is long It’s the courage to continue that keeps you strong! Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The fire in your spirit is the only light To carry the conviction through the blackest night! [Verse 3] The cycle turns, the wheel is spinning fast Nothing in this world is built to last Except the will to stand and face the storm To keep the cooling embers red and warm Don’t fear the falling, don’t fear the height Just keep the target steady in your sight The only way to lose the holy game Is letting out the flicker of the flame! [Chorus] Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The crown is heavy and the road is long It’s the courage to continue that keeps you strong! Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The fire in your spirit is the only light To carry the conviction through the blackest night! [Break / Bridge] Rise! Fall! Stand! Through it all! It’s not the finish line! It’s the heart to climb! [Chorus] Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The crown is heavy and the road is long It’s the courage to continue that keeps you strong! Success is not the end, it’s not the final breath! Failure’s not a shadow or a sting of death! The fire in your spirit is the only light To carry the conviction through the blackest night! [Outro] Keep moving! (Faster) Keep moving! It counts! It counts! The courage to continue!
