Flesh And Bone Lyrics - Battle Born - The Killers

I've gone through life white knuckled 

In the moments that left me behind 

Refusing to heed the yield 

I penetrate the force field in the blind 

They say I'll adjust 

God knows I must 

But I'm not sure how 

This natural selection 

Picked me out to be 

A dark horse running in a fantasy

(Flesh and Bone) 

And I'm running out of time 

(Flesh and Bone) 

Somewhere outside that finish line 

I square up and break through the chains 

And I hit like a raging bull 

Anointed by the blood I take the reins 

Cut from the cloth 

Of the flag that bears the name 

"Battle Born" 

They'll call me the contender 

They'll listen for the bell 

With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell 

(What are you afraid of?) 

And what are you made of? 

(Flesh and Bone) 

And I'm running out of time 

Photos 

(Flesh and Bone) 

And what are you made of? 

(Flesh and Bone) 

And I'm turning on a dime 

(Flesh and Bone) 

(This could decay) 

This could decay 

Like the valley below 

Defenses are down 

The stakes are high 

(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion) The fairytale end 

(To face out the journey to force us no more) The staggering blow 

(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire) You lead with your chin 

(Sitting in your corner, just a compass and the sun) 

This could be real 

Simple 

And what are you made of? 

(Flesh and Bone) 

And I'm running out of time 

(Flesh and Bone) 

What are you made of? 

He places forward 

Trading his blindness 

For the glow of love 

And time is raging 

Need to raise your game 

And ya always had it 

But you never knew 

So boots and saddles, get on your feet 

There's no surrender, because there's no retreat 

The bells absolve him 

And there's more starting and 

We are the descendants 

Of giant men
