I'll never quit I'll never stop
For if my body reels in pain I shall not quit I shall not stop
I will engage that beast down deep
And awake the greatness within myself
For if my breaths draw short and weak
I will engage that beast down deep
For I will rise up toward the sun and undo those who should come between
For I am a train my coat is strong
Yes I will rumble on and on
Well past the outskirts of disbelief
These plumes of smoke cut through the sky
To darken the angels passing by
For I shall crash on through those gates As heaven or no one shall keep me out
I will engage that beast down deep
To taste the victory which is life itself
For in my mind I am unmatched
Uneven, perhaps unparalleled
