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
