I was down to zero

Still an unsung hero

Waiting for my ship to come to shore

I stood empty handed

Like a seagull stranded

Watching all the other seagulls soar

I was slowly losing hope

Twisting frayed ends of the rope

In a suicidal fantasy

I was going to extremes

Losing sight of all my dreams again

I never thought I'd win

[Guitar solo]

I was blinded by the pain

Running wild through the rain

In a parody of extacy

I was inches from the edge

Fingers clinging to the ledge again

I never thought I'd win

[Chorus]

Win in the end

I'm gonna win in the end

Win in the end

I'm gonna win in the end

Got to keep my cool

I am not the fool

Everyone expects to play me for

I could change the pattern

Steal a ring from Saturn

Forge myself into a man-of-war

I am equal to the task

I won't hide behind the mask

What you see is what you'll get from me

I am stronger than they think

They can force me to the brink again

But now I know I'll win

[Chorus]

I will steal the thunder

Rolling out from under

Every cloud that's clashing(?) in the sky

Like a true defender

I will not surrender

Why should I lie down for them and die?

I am equal to the task

I won't hide behind the mask

What you see is what you'll get from me

I am stronger than they think

They can force me to the brink again

But now I know I'll win

[Chorus]
