Standing in the shadows
Hero of the story
Riding on a saddle
Chasing down the glory
Time to make your move
Do exactly what you do
It's a sure shot, it's yours to lose

It's the kind of love that rains down
Once upon a lifetime
Can you hear the countdown?
Can you see the goal line?
Everything is lined up
Waiting for your moment
Time slows down

You don't stop a bullet that you set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then, why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

There's no putting lightning
Back into a bottle
Counting on a dark horse
Pulling on the throttle
Once you made your mind up
You're never going back
Time slows down

You don't stop a bullet that you set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then, why do we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

Standing in the shadows
Hero of the story
Riding on a saddle
Chasing down the glory
Time to make your move
Do exactly what you do
It's a sure shot, it's yours

You don't stop a bullet that you set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then, why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

You don't stop a bullet when you set in it motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then, why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down
