Flesh 'N Blood
Over time, I've come to feel
That everything must come apart, it seems
From the little child to the man of power
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams
From the thinnest thread, we are sewn together
From the finest string, we dangle over time
From the highest wire, do we walk through fire?
Should our balance ever falter? Should our steps be unaligned?
Such a big storm, yeah, such a strong wind blowing
Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line
But I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
I'm not gonna give up the ghost
I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
I'm not gonna give it up
Because I haven't the strength to hold out too long
If we both hold on together, we can make each other strong
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all
Drop the mask, take away the house
And forget about the income and the car
We're all the same underneath our shell
We've all been to hell and we know what it's like
And we've shared each other's sins
We all know what it's like to give up the fight
We've all been ashamed at one time or another
We all have dreams and nightmares, too
When it all comes down we'll look out for each other
(No one else will)
When I hear the call, when I feel the thirst, yeah
When the catcher comes to take my soul
He's gonna have to fight me first
'Cause I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
Not gonna give up the ghost
I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
Not gonna give it up
'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long
If we both hold on together, we can make each other strong
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all, we're flesh 'n' blood
After all
Every cloud has a silver lining
And every soul is tender to the touch
We are made of stone, we are made of steel
And we're all the same when we return to dust
When I hear the call, yeah, when I feel the thirst
When the catcher comes to take my soul
He's gonna have to fight me first
'Cause I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
Not gonna give up the ghost
I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no
Not gonna give it up
'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long
If we both hold on together, we can make each other strong
(Give up the ghost, no)
(Not gonna give it up)
(Give up the ghost, no)
(Not gonna give it up)
Not gonna give up the ghost, no
I'm not gonna give it up, ooh
I'm not gonna give it up, no
I'm not gonna, yeah
I'm not gonna, no
I'm not gonna give it up, yeah
I'm not gonna give it up
No
