Eye Of The Tiger
Echoes The Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did my time and took my chances
I Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don′t lose your grips on the dreams of the past
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin′ up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he′s watching us all with the eye of the tiger, the eye of the tiger
So many times I took my chances
Don't lose your grip or your will to survive
Risin′ up, straight to the top
Have the guts and got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It′s the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin′ up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger, the eye of the tiger

@MrBluedevil0913 Echoes the Fall had to replace the lead singer whom had recorded their 4 song demo LP. They did not break up. I saw them in Scranton PA a few weeks ago. Their new lead singer has an great voice and fits in with their musical style. His range is also incredible.
