Tooth and nail, I’m clawing at the dawn, blood on the strings, thunder in the veins, broken halos shining in electric rain. Breaking through all the doors, tearing up the night, I’m an outlaw of fortune, ready to ignite. I shattered the silence with a rebel’s cry, spent my life chasing the echoes, wild and alive, and I’m sworn to the storm, no fear in my eyes. Tooth and nail, hand to cut off, foot in mouth, nobody gets outta here alive!
Rich, poor, beggar, thief, priest, businesspeople, don’t matter your status, death shatters all, and in equality, nobody gets outta here alive!
Pray to God, speak of the devil, worship insanity, knife to the brain, when your last word rolls off your lips, don’t matter the game you played, nobody gets outta here alive!
Blind, deaf, no matter what your political party is, no matter the country you live in, we are equal in death, so don’t save your last breath for division because in unity, nobody gets outta here alive!
Did you write your name in smoke? Did you write your name in dust?
Mirror, mirror on the wall, did you answer the phone when life called?
Did you hold the spark, or just watch it fall apart? Did you run from the shadow, or dance in its embrace? All the gold you gather, all the lies you chase—none can buy a second when you stare death in the face.
So, carve your story in the thunder, let your laughter scar the sky, love with reckless wonder, and never wonder why. In the end, the hourglass will turn, the ashes settle down, but the fire in your spirit can set this world aglow, even as the curtains close—because nobody gets outta here alive.
Baby, let me tell you I forged my name in time because I’ve always known the truth, sooner or later Death gets you, and nobody gets outta here alive!
