Feel the taste of blood Turn your face up Wash your tears down 'Here I am, here I stand' Say it proudly and so loud In this flavour of life, in this taste of pain We learn to live and learn how to stand When every new day turns into a trial Hold your fists hard This is the taste of blood This is the taste of life This is the way to rise up Be aware of the future This saddest kiss of fate tastes like pain and sorrow Rise from the dust, bruised but unbroken In the clasp of defeat, find your way to the win Turn these battles and these falls into the lessons Don't sleep Turn your face up Wash your tears down 'Here I am, Here I stand' Say it proudly and so loud Don't be afraid Hold your fists Wash your tears down All the shit just begins
