VERSE 1 Through the smoke and the ash I can hear it draw near, A shadow in the darkness feeding armies with fear, Claws carving through stone while it howls at the sky, But I wasn't born to run and I was never born to die. Its eyes burn red like a furnace of hate, Every footstep shaking mountains at the edge of fate, The ground starts cracking, the heavens divide, Yet I grip my blade tighter with the storm at my side. PRE-CHORUS It roars, I rise, Lightning fills my eyes, No retreat tonight, Only one survives. CHORUS MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Steel against its teeth! Thunder in my heartbeat, fire underneath! MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Neither one will kneel! Till the earth remembers which of us is real! VERSE 2 It lunges like a nightmare tearing holes in the rain, Every strike a disaster, every breath a hurricane, But I dance through the chaos, every scar is a guide, Every wound that I've carried keeps the warrior alive. The moon turns silver on the edge of my sword, As I charge through the darkness with a battle cry roared, The monster keeps advancing, but I won't be denied, If I fall then I'll fall with the whole world at my side. PRE-CHORUS It roars, I rise, Lightning fills my eyes, No retreat tonight, Only one survives. CHORUS MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Steel against its teeth! Thunder in my heartbeat, fire underneath! MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Neither one will kneel! Till the earth remembers which of us is real! BREAKDOWN FANGS! BLOOD! DUST AND MUD! STRIKE! CRASH! BOTH OF US COLLIDE! FATE! RAGE! WRITTEN ON THE PAGE! ONE! LAST! CHANCE TO STAY ALIVE! FINAL CHORUS MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Steel against its teeth! Thunder in my heartbeat, fire underneath! MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Hear the victory scream! The monster falls before me like a shattered dream! MAN AGAINST THE BEAST! Now the battle's done! Standing in the sunrise as the only one!
