prepare in urgency to race casting off the weight that burdens me i cannot dare to force the pace marathon for life the road i face committed determined my gaze is set on finishing im straining to extend the lead as every evil chases me one day one hour every step i know i know i fix my eyes ahead straining on to run without remorse casting off mistakes that came before in my mind i see a hallowed door open arm embrace im reaching for  committed determined my gaze is set on finishing im straining to extend the lead as every evil chases me one day one hour every step i know i know i fix my eyes ahead just like a breeze is passing me my stammers a distant memory we cannot afford a glance to see whats gaining or what is history unyielding unflinching my gaze is set on finishing im straining to extend the lead as every evil chases me one day one hour every step i know i know i fix my eyes ahead im straining to extend the lead as every evil chases me one day one hour every step i know i know i fix my eyes ahead
