[Intro] [Powerful synthesizer fanfare] [Driving bass guitar kicks in] [Steady punchy drums with gated reverb] [Verse 1] Tie the laces tight Underneath the stadium light The grit is in your teeth and in your bone Forget the ghosts of yesterday There's a heavy price to pay To stand upon that mountain all alone History is watching now Wipe the sweat from off your brow [Pre-Chorus] (Hold the line!) When the pressure starts to climb (Take the strike!) Running out of breath and time You feel the lightning in your hands To meet the world’s supreme demands [Chorus] [Explosive energy] You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat (No, they’ll never bring you down!) [Verse 2] The clock is ticking fast Make every single movement last The crowd is just a blur of noise and gray It’s the miles you ran at dawn When the hope was almost gone That brought you to the threshold of today One more shot, one more gear Kill the doubt and kill the fear [Pre-Chorus] (Hold the line!) When the pressure starts to climb (Take the strike!) Running out of breath and time You feel the lightning in your hands To meet the world’s supreme demands [Chorus] [Big stadium sound] You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat (No, they’ll never bring you down!) [Bridge] [Music strips back to bass and drums] Push it harder! [Guitar chug] Take it higher! [Synthesizer swell] You’ve got the hunger And the soul is on fire! [Drum fill] [Instrumental Saxophone Solo] [Soaring, melodic, energetic sax solo over driving rhythm] [Chorus] You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat You’re the one to beat Never gonna taste defeat [Outro] (You’re the one!) The world is calling out your name (Never defeat!) You’ve mastered every part of the game [Final triumphant synth chord] [Fade out with heavy snare hits]
