Lyrics

0:24I've gone through life white-knuckled

0:26In the moments that left me behind

0:30Refusing to heed the yield

0:33I penetrate the force fields in the blind

0:38They say I'll adjust

0:41God knows I must

0:43But I'm not sure how

0:45This natural selection picked me out to be

0:50A dark horse running in a fantasy

0:55(Flesh and bone)

0:59And I'm running out of time

1:02(Flesh and bone)

1:08Somewhere outside that finish line

1:11I square up and break through the chains

1:14And I hit like a raging bull

1:17Anointed by the blood I take the reins

1:22Cut from the cloth of a flag that

1:26Bears the name of "Battle Born"

1:30They'll call me the contender

1:32They'll listen for the bell

1:34With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

1:40(What are you afraid of )

1:43And what are you made of

1:46(Flesh and bone)

1:51And I'm running out of time

1:54(Flesh and bone)

1:57And what are you made of

2:02(Flesh and bone)

2:06Man I'm turning on a dime

2:09(Flesh and bone)

2:15(This could decay)

2:18This could decay

2:21Like the valley below

2:25Defences are down

2:30The stakes are high

2:31(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)

2:33The fairytale end

2:35(To face off the journey that fathers no more)

2:37The staggering blow

2:38(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)

2:41You lead with your chin

2:42(Thinkin' with your corners just a compass and the sun)

2:45This could be real

2:47(Thinkin' with your corners just a)

2:48Simple

3:05And what are you made of

3:08(Flesh and bone)

3:12And I'm running out of time

3:15(Flesh and bone)

3:20What are you made of

3:24He faces forward

3:26Trading in his blindness for the world of love

3:30And time is raging may it rage in vain

3:34And you always had it but you never knew

3:37So boots and saddles get on your feet

3:41There's no surrender cause there's no retreat

3:45The bells are sounding bring this match to an end

3:49We are the descendents of giant men

I've gone through life white-knuckled
In the moments that left me behind
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force fields in the blind
They say I'll adjust
God knows I must
But I'm not sure how
This natural selection picked me out to be
A dark horse running in a fantasy
(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time
(Flesh and bone)
Somewhere outside that finish line
I square up and break through the chains
And I hit like a raging bull
Anointed by the blood  I take the reins
Cut from the cloth  of a flag that
Bears the name of "Battle Born"
They'll call me the contender
They'll listen for the bell
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell
(What are you afraid of )
And what are you made of
(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time
(Flesh and bone)
And what are you made of
(Flesh and bone)
Man  I'm turning on a dime
(Flesh and bone)
(This could decay)
This could decay
Like the valley below
Defences are down
The stakes are high
(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)
The fairytale end
(To face off the journey that fathers no more)
The staggering blow
(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)
You lead with your chin
(Thinkin' with your corners  just a compass and the sun)
This could be real
(Thinkin' with your corners  just a)
Simple
And what are you made of
(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time
(Flesh and bone)
What are you made of
He faces forward
Trading in his blindness for the world of love
And time is raging  may it rage in vain
And you always had it  but you never knew
So boots and saddles  get on your feet
There's no surrender  cause there's no retreat
The bells are sounding  bring this match to an end
We are the descendents of giant men
