Death Ground

All in, fall out, fate is calling, go time, no doubt
Locked in and on a route
Headlong, headstrong
Beckoned by the trek I'm meant on
And just like that I'm gone
Dogged on the trail, drawn to the dawn beyond the pale
A long and roaming climb to this moment in time
And now I'm

Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, wholly in the zone of no return
Although all that I know is risked on this only throw
My soul is bold, devoted to a solemn oath I hold
I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

Left on my own, by threshing of the flesh I am honed
And so my will is shown
Chasing safety, never came to save me safely
I firewalk alone
Tossing all the dross, forging a way in an ireful fray
To the destined land through the dust and sand
Oh, I must, I know, so, I am

Upon the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, holy in the zone of no return
Although all that I know is risked on this only throw
My soul is bold, devoted to a solemn oath I hold
I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

Now I'm
Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, fully in the zone of no return
And even although it's all we know
We'll risk it on this only go
For the soul is made whole
Devoted to a common goal we can hold
I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground
