“FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE”
(N. MICHALAK)

Raging on through eternity
A fight for the ages
One that seems never to end

In a battle without mercy
And where all are the foe
And Hell is where you’ll be sent

Your immortal life is cut short
By the slice of the blade
For there can be only one

(Chorus)
  You must fight for your life
  Nowhere to run
  Nowhere to hide
  ‘Cause the fight is on

  You must fight for your life
  Fight for the prize
  Fight for the future
  Fight for your life
  ‘Cause the fight is on

The whole world has been in the dark
Fighting in the shadows
An ancient war will soon end

The Quickening empowers them
Giving immortal strength
One last slash shall make it done

Archenemies in their last duel
A last duel to the death
Light or dark, this fight will tell

(Chorus)
  You must fight for your life
  Nowhere to run
  Nowhere to hide
  ‘Cause the fight is on

  You must fight for your life
  Fight for the prize
  Fight for the future
  Fight for your life
  ‘Cause the fight is on

The fight will rage
The fight will go
The fight will end
‘Cause there can be only one

(Chorus)
  You must fight for your life
  Nowhere to run
  Nowhere to hide
  ‘Cause the fight is on

  You must fight for your life
  Fight for the prize
  Fight for the future
  Fight for your life
  ‘Cause the fight is on

The fight is on
The fight is on
Yeah, the fight is on

The fight is done

It’s better to burn out, then to fade away.

"HIGHLANDER" is one of my all-time favorite movies, and well, this song is exactly about that movie.  The last two immortals left in the world must fight to the death to ultimately decide the future of the entire world.  One will stand, and one will fall.  If the evil Kurgan were to win, the world would be plunged into eternal darkness, but if the Scotsman, Connor MacLeod, were to win, then the world would be able to have unity through the winner of 'The Prize'.  I wrote about the film's climactic final duel between Connor and the Kurgan as they fight for their lives.

After reading over these lyrics again, I realized why I hate this song.  NOTHING RHYMES!  It sucks!  I wrote this whole song and there's really nothing that rhymes!  So, in light of this, I must declare this a SHIT SONG!  Yes, I have written one, and this is it.  I can't believe this song sucks this much!  I HATE IT!  Fuck!
