Victorious (Ready Player One)

Time and space, a holy place
Keep me in an altered state
From the weight of the world
That holds us down (holds us down)
Rebellion on the frontline (and uncrown)
Get ready, now it's time, singing

Warrior-ior-iors, warrior-ior-iors
Warrior-ior-iors
We won't back down 'til we're all victorious

Yeah, I am the chosen one
Been left for dead, I got nobody
We've been overcome
The world is cold and numb
Escape reality, so I become
The hero that the people need
Their time is over, done

Faceless the game is
Everybody wanna take this and shape it
I can't ever see 'em breakin', we're takin'
Everything in the creation replacin'
Every enemy will fall down
This simulation is my call, drown
If I don't find the key I'm looking for
We're all bound

Cybernetic competitors, allies at my six
Every generation of characters
All up in the mix, get the fix!
Oasis, the place of energy and bliss
I'm the one here
Finding every secret in the scripts

You won't take it all away from us
We're elevated, calculated players
Ready to bust, so trust in me!
Run with me! Constantly combust!
We'll fight back, take control
Leave 'em all in the dust, you know

Time and space, a holy place
Keep me in an altered state
From the weight of the world
That holds us down (holds us down)
Rebellion on the frontline (and, uncrown)
Get ready, now it's time, singing

Warrior-ior-iors, warrior-ior-iors
Warrior-ior-iors
We won't back down 'til we're all victorious

Overpopulation, the climate keeps changing
In 2045, we escaping to the oasis
Basically, we are chasing our dreams
In steady paces
Treasures of the unknown so close
That we can taste it

Virtual insanity band together as nations
One cause, one try
All the world is racin' for the prize
Pull the visor down in front of your eyes
And realize that this is not a game
It's a way of life

(Everybody ready up!)
Join in the rebellion
(You don't wanna play with us)
Somebody better tell 'em
You gotta know, you gotta have a
Little bit of fight inside yo' system
Two out of four people
Won't make it out alive, become a victim

I'm gonna go and get some
Time is running away slowly
I just wonder, do they know me?
One at a time they coming, they can't hold me
If I'ma die, I do it on my own terms
You see me standing so boldly
With my fist up, don't get it twisted up
If you a better player, then show me

Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up

Time and space, a holy place
Keep me in an altered state
From the weight of the world
That holds us down (holds us down)
Rebellion on the frontline (uncrown)
Get ready, now it's time, singing

Warrior-ior-iors, warrior-ior-iors
Warrior-ior-iors
We won't back down 'til we're all victorious

I can hardly tell apart
My life from my dreams (Player one)
My eyes are wide open
But it's like I'm asleep (wake him up)
As I rise and shine, take a look
At the world we've been given
'Cause after mom and dad left
They passed their sins to their children

We're just the missing millions
But there ain't no place we can go
The oasis is the only escape
From the waste that we know
We're packed into the stacks
It lacks imagination here, so
I'll slip away into creations
I couldn't make on my own

I'll crack into this egg
I know it'll be my big break (my big break)
I'm blazin' a path
Everybody better follow closely
In my wake (in my wake)

I'll take this game right off the rails
They'll know my name from all the tales
How I made those sixers on my tail
Wanna bail, watched 'em all fall off and fail

Only got this life to live
So, give it all to stay one up
No second chances
When it's game over, your grave's been dug
Your potential is the single greatest treasure
You'll ever find
When they got you shackled
Remember they can never imprison your mind
