Eye Of The Tiger
U.K. Mixmasters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
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 grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Risin' up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna 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 rival
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
The eye of the tiger




The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

i don´t know my Dad, maybe he´s dead, or instead of that, he is alive. Evry thing in my life is a lie
maybe he is there, but i don´t care
i searched him, but didn´t find anything, i was calling, but he´s never comming.
actually i´m strong in forgiving, doesn´t matter, where´s he livin.
He was the one, who´s leaving...
He hasn´t give me any signs, i am seaching in the dark. like i´m blind
i got denied, i don´t know, if he lives or died

@WalthaIsWatchingYou1

I wanted to comment such a text below your videos a long time ago but I always thought: "Hey, Leo doesn't read it anyways so why should I comment?".

However today is the day.

Leo, you're doing a god damn awesome job on your videos and your music. There are tons of covers out there of the songs you're covering but no one is even close to your level. The way you're covering "normal" songs and mixing it with metal or the way you're covering metal songs and mixing it with your style is more than excellent.

A huge thanks for your hard work on every single song you're releasing. You're an enrichment for the world of metal.

Kind regards and keep up the great work!

God bless you, Leo. I discovered you and your music during a very dark period of my life almost 2 years ago. I had just lost my father and I sank into a deep depression but you helped me find the strength within me to come out of it. Thank you
