Seven years I go, with no turning back

Counting every day, taking every chance,

But everywhere I go, every way I choose,

I can hear them saying - 'Boy, you know you'll lose'

They say that I won't dare, won't get under way

They tighten heavy rope around my neck

They don't have any name, they're here to stay

All these fears of mine

But I have to kill 'em

For so many lives that I've lost

Have to kill 'em,

For so many years I've been a ghost

So weak and bound

Standing on the edge now

I got no excuses no more

Cause I have to kill 'em

I know it won't be long, until I do

Break from heavy fetters and make it through

But everywhere I go, 'til I make the move

I will hear them saying - 'Boy, you know you'll lose'

They say that I won't dare, won't get under way

They tighten heavy rope around my neck

They don't have any name, they're here to stay

All these fears of mine

But I have to kill 'em

For so many lives that I've lost

Have to kill 'em,

For so many years I've been a ghost

So weak and bound

Standing on the edge now

I got no excuses no more

Cause I have to kill 'em
