Pale Light

[Chorus] Knuckles bleed, a crimson spray Twenty-five seconds, win or decay Heartbeat pounds a war drum's might Underground arena, bathed in pale light [Verse] Iron taste, a metallic sting Through cracked guard, the blood I bring Fan blades groan, a rusty sigh Opponent sways beneath the sky Of concrete, steel, and smoky haze Lost count of all these brutal days [Pre-Chorus] He's a mountain, built to fall Hear the roar, the primal call Every sinew starts to strain Pushing past the burning pain [Chorus] Knuckles bleed, a crimson spray Twenty-five seconds, win or decay Heartbeat pounds a war drum's might Underground arena, bathed in pale light [Verse] He lunges low, a desperate move My body coiled, ready to prove Into the fray, the final stand With shattered bones and shaking hand I see the opening, a fleeting chance This is my moment, my final dance [Bridge] Memories flash, the sweat, the tears Conquering all my deepest fears Every scar, a story told Braver now than I was bold This is the end, the ultimate test Putting my spirit to the absolute best [Pre-Chorus] He's a mountain, built to fall Hear the roar, the primal call Every sinew starts to strain Pushing past the burning pain [Chorus] Knuckles bleed, a crimson spray Twenty-five seconds, win or decay Heartbeat pounds a war drum's might Underground arena, bathed in pale light [Hook] Uppercut! The air explodes! A shattering sound, the bell forebodes His lights go out, he hits the floor Champion now, forevermore! [Outro] Pale light fades, the crowd ignites A broken crown in endless nights
