Part One - While It Still Beats

so ends the game
so ends the chains
there's only one way to get out of this race
there ain't no second place
if you don't give them every ounce
they'll cut it out
while it still beats

you close the wound
hot knife and blade
but I'm not dying while in the shade
take my boots and the bullets from my gun
point me towards the sun
point me towards the sun
