I've gone through life white knuckle In the moments that left me behind Refusing to heed the yield I penetrate the force field in the blind They say I'll adjust And God knows that 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 I head like a raging bull Anointed by the blood I take the reins I come from the core Of the flag that bears the name Battle Born They call me the contender I listen for the bell 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 And I'm turning on a dime Flesh and Bone Flesh and Bone This could decay This could decay Like the valley below Defences are down Stakes are high Fairytale ending Staggering blow Let it be chin This could be real Simple And what are you made of? Flesh and bone And i'm running of time flesh and bone What are you made of? He faces forward Trading in his blindness for the world of love His heart is raging May he rage in vain And you always had it, but you never knew So boots and saddles get on your feet There's no surrender There's no retreat The bells are solid There's loads to learn We're the descendants of giant men
