The last one to fall, will never sacrifice their will!

Be on the attack with your wings on the wind,
Oh, the games will begin!

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah!
It's ours for the taking, it's ours for the fight!
And it's sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
And the one who's last to fall, the winner takes all!

You push with a fever, for your time keeps tolling on!
Against all the odds, against all your pain,
Your back's on the wall with no one to blame.
Wild hearts won't be tamed.
