Sun bleeds out on the horizon line
Cattle skulls a dusty sign
Got a heavy hand upon the wheel
This ain't a race it's just the deal
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tick of the clock is a hammer blow
Got nowhere left to go
This fire in my veins is starting to burn
For the lesson I must learn
[Chorus]
Oh the deadline's call (Can't you hear it)
Standing straight and tall
Gonna give my all (Every last bit)
Before I fall
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tick of the clock is a hammer blow
Got nowhere left to go
This fire in my veins is starting to burn
For the lesson I must learn
[Chorus]
Oh the deadline's call (Can't you hear it)
Standing straight and tall
Gonna give my all (Every last bit)
Before I fall
[Bridge]
They say the righteous never fear
But I've been walking lonely here
Made a pact down in the dirt
Paid the price for what it's worth
[Chorus]
Oh the deadline's call (Can't you hear it)
Standing straight and tall
Gonna give my all (Every last bit)
Before I fall
[Outro]
The deadline's met
No more regret
A final silhouette
(The final call )
