Instinct from Strength by Unto Others

i never sleep
i get around
i’d rather die
than touch the ground

i push it hard
i keep it straight
i’ll never stop, won’t fall behind
i never wait

i pierce through the iron clouds
of a world so cold
i hammer the thunder down
from the skies above
i need you to know

i cut the wire with a steady hand
and get to fly far, far away
i touch down on a new ground
thank god, gods far away

one million years
don’t shed a tear
but sweating hard
pressing on
persevere

…and many fall
many die
i pass them all
pick it up double time

i suffer the falling rain
as a man i come
to puncture the pulsing vein
‘til the man is gone
i’m where i belong

i cut the wire with a steady hand
and get to fly far, far away
i’m stone faced when the chips are down
thank god, gods far away

you can’t deny me, i ever last
i’m burning hot shooting stars flying past
i kill the pain, i cut the chain
good god, god’s gone away
