This Game

(album: Nostalgia VII - 2019)

I never wanted to be
Another gear in that corrupted world's machine
All my life felt like a dream
I was never who I really wanted me to be

But then god shattered that dream's cage
And rose me up to a new stage
Cut it away like a sharp knife
NO NO NO GAME NO LIFE
Now suddenly there's a new twist
A reason to really exist
I wanna breathe in the fame
As this whole new world cheers my name

I'll never leave it to fate
And when I see a chance, I'll pave the way
I'll call checkmate
This is the time to break through
So I'll rewrite the story and finally change all rules

WE ARE MAVERICK
We won't give in until we win this game
Though I don't know what tomorrow holds
I'll make a bet and play my cards to win this game
Unlike the rest I'll do my best
And I won't ever lose
To give up this chance would be a deadly sin
So let's bet it all
I'll put all my faith in us so let the games begin!

There's a darkness in our hearts
And it's stronger than any foe that we've fought by far
But as long as we believe
Then I know there's no chance that we'll ever taste defeat

Don't trade a fraction of your pride
Just cause you want an easy life
Don't fall for those beautiful lies
NO NO NO SENSE NO LIFE!
We've gotta block out the voices
That drag us down like a poison
And we will put in their place
A voice as pure and bright as day

I know it's not a mistake
That we rise up to fight and challenge fate
We'll dominate even if we lose this turn
I would bet everything in the end that our victory's assured

WE ARE MAVERICK
Logic within we don't need it to win
This world's no match it can't hold us back
Don't have to wait for our adventure to begin

Never the fools, we make the rules
Walking the path we choose
Never taking orders from a single soul
Cause that's not our style
And together we will forge ahead down this new road

Won't hesitate, I know we won't lose our way
And this road we have chosen's no mistake
Without our pride, nothing is holding us back
I can see that the way to a victory begins with this path

WE ARE MAVERICK
We won't give in until we win this game
Though I don't know what tomorrow holds
I'll make a bet and play my cards to win this game
Unlike the rest I'll do my best
And I won't ever lose
To give up this chance would be a deadly sin
So let's bet it all
I'll put all my faith in us, so let the games begin!

WE ARE MAVERICK
Shall we begin? Only the strong will win
We'll surpass the challenges it takes to win
So put your bet in
I'll put all my faith in us, so let the games begin!
