Told from the perspective of the famed Lara Croft as her story is rebooted, “Run for Your Life” is a “frantic,” fast-paced survival anthem that serves as the theme song to the 2018 film Tomb Raider, which diverges from previous film canon and follows the 2013 Square Enix reboot of the game series.
[Verse 1]
Don't count me out
Just 'cause I'm down
Boy, I've been down before
Fate has a way of playing games
And I've been keeping score

[Chorus]
Bite off the venomous head
Follow the chemical scent
Look for the hole in the fence
Take everything you demand
Fast as you can
And run for your life
Run for your life
Run for your life
Run for your life
