The Fight

Thundering down the cold dark desert road
It ain't the miles you're lookin' at
Ain't the pavement you see but its ghost
And all the trials that lie ahead
Yeah, it becomes your only friend
When you live for the fight for too long
You burn for the bloody way out
But the only hope for a victory
Is to learn to lay it down
Rumbling ground it shakes from the load
The burden that you live to bear
Deafening sound it rings in your soul
Makes you forget what brought you here
Now the ending ain't so clear
When you live for the fight for too long
You burn for the bloody way out
But the only hope for a victory
Is to learn to lay it down
When I rest, will I rest in peace or not?
Ooh, will I lay the fight down
Will I lay the fight down?
Lay the fight down
(Then you live for the fight for too long)
When you live for the fight for too long
You burn for the bloody way out
But the only hope for a victory
Is to learn to lay it down
