[English]

There's a fire that burns inside

It's an instinct that never lies

The target's tattooed between our eyes

...

Stand and fight

Under the lights on the high stage

A part of your life it can't take away

Just like the blood runnin' through your veins

...

Everyone's watchin' through your eyes

There's only two options

Win or die (Die, die)

Win or die (Die, die)

Win or die (Die, die, die, die)

It went from a spark to an open flame

Now destiny's calling out your name

So reply, so reply

And ignite

Ignite

Ignite

Ignite

...

There's a power that's underneath

And you can't see it 'til you believe

On the edge of infinity

...

Feel the rush

Under the lights on the high stage

A part of your life it can't take away

Just like the blood runnin' through your veins

...

Everyone's watchin' through your eyes

There's only two options

Win or die (Die, die)

Win or die (Die, die)

Win or die (Die, die, die, die)

It went from a spark to an open flame

Now destiny's calling out your name

So reply, so reply

And ignite

Ignite

And ignite

Ignite

...

It went from a spark to an open flame

Now destiny's callin' out your name

So ignite, so ignite

...
