Adrenaline in my soul
Every fight out of control
Do it all to get them off their feet
Crowd is here, about to blow
Waitin' for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up, I'm home
(Whoa!)

And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me into the end
I am my kingdom

Lights go down, I'm ready now
Tear this roof off for the town
Gonna give 'em what they came to see
Hear the crowd on their toes
Ready for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up, I'm home
(Whoa!)

And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me into the end
I am my kingdom

You tried to tell me what to do
(I saw the door and kicked it down)
I stepped right over and right through
(And you can never stop me now)
Bow! Now!
(I am the king and you're the clown)
Now watch me as I take my throne
And rule my kingdom

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me into the end
I am my kingdom
You took it all away, I give it all away (give it all away)
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain (I'm here to change the game)
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me into the end
I am my kingdom
