[Verse 1]
One crown
Shines on through the sound
One crown
Born to lose
One man
Does not give a damn
One man

[Refrain]

Aces high

Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win
[Verse 2]

Hammers through the mist
One fist

The iron horse rolls on and on and on
[Chorus]
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
I still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
No excuse
[Outro]
'Til the end
Been living to win
Been living to win
