Manafest - Burn The Boats lyrics

[Manafest - Burn The Boats lyrics]
Burn the boats
It's fly or die, gentlemen, sink or swim
We either take this island or we die
No surrenderin', no retreatin'
The only way we go home
Is on our enemies' ships
It's easy to give up when you have a way out
Burn the boats, burn your excuses
Burn your fears and insecurities
Burn your doubts and lack of confidence
Success is your only option, failure's not
When your back's against the wall
That's when you find out what
You're really made of
It's in the dark moments when
Your light shines brightest
It's under enormous pressure that coal
Is turned into a diamond
It's insurmountable odds that cause men and
Women to rise to the challenge
The only person you are destined to become
Is the person you decide to be
What you do today matters
The actions you take every day matter
The path to success is not convenient
It's easy to stay in bed and watch TV
But there is no instant
Life for microwave dreams
Life is not some clickable link
And there's no such thing
As an overnight success
Everyone starts somewhere
I started with zero followers, subscribers
Fans and ideas i spent five years holding my
Craft as a songwriter rejected, disappointed
Show after show, song after song before I
Finally had any success
Which was halfway across the globe in Japan
It took another five years before I ever
Got recognized in my own country so yeah
Overnight success ten years in the makin'
Championships aren't won in the ring with
Lights and a cheering crowd
They're won in solitude, training in the gym
Day after day
Rep after rep when no one's lookin'
If you want big results
Be willing to do the small
Things that lead you there
Brick by brick, hit after hit
Joinin' a gym is a good start
But then you gotta show up
Don't just buy a temporary feeling of
Health and exercise with a membership
Do the work otherwise, don't get mad when
You don't have the
Six pack abs or the model figure
Have you ever wondered why successful
People don't win the lottery?
It's because they don't buy lottery tickets
Success is choices, not chances
Yet so many people will risk their money
Thousands of dollars over
Their lifetime gambling
With the worst odds imaginable
But they claim starting a business or going
For their dream is too risky
A true soldier fights
Not because he hates what's in front of him
But because he loves what's behind him
Eliminate the possibility of failing
From your mind
Go all in, give life everything you've got
Life is not a wedding rehearsal
You only get one shot at this
So give it a hundred percent
No turning back, no other path
Stop looking in the rearview
Mirror of your past
Your future and destiny is in front of you
You've come to far to quit now
It's time to finish what you've started
Burn the boats
It's fly or die, gentlemen, sink or swim
We either take this island or we die
No surrenderin', no retreatin'
The only way we go home
Is on our enemies' ships
It's easy to give up when you have a way out
Burn the boats, burn your excuses
Burn your fears and insecurities
Burn your doubts and lack of confidence
Success is your only option, failure's not
When your back's against the wall
That's when you find out what
You're really made of
