Win in the End (Волченок, 1985г.)

I was down to zero 
Still an unsung hero 
Waiting for my ship to come to shore 

I stood empty handed 
Like a seagull stranded 
Watching all the other seagulls soar 

I was slowly losing hope 
Twisting frayed ends of the rope 
In a suicidal fantasy 

I was going to extremes 
Losing sight of all my dreams again 
I never thought I'd win 

[Guitar solo] 

I was blinded by the pain 
Running wild through the rain 
In a parody of extacy 

I was inches from the edge 
Fingers clinging to the ledge again 
I never thought I'd win 

[Chorus] 
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end 
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end 

Got to keep my cool 
I am not the fool 
Everyone expects to play me for 

I could change the pattern 
Steal a ring from Saturn 
Forge myself into a man-of-war 

I am equal to the task 
I won't hide behind the mask 
What you see is what you'll get from me 

I am stronger than they think 
They can force me to the brink again 
But now I know I'll win 

[Chorus]
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end 
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end

I will steal the thunder 
Rolling out from under 
Every cloud that's clashing in the sky 

Like a true defender 
I will not surrender 
Why should I lie down for them and die? 

I am equal to the task 
I won't hide behind the mask 
What you see is what you'll get from me 

I am stronger than they think 
They can force me to the brink again 
But now I know I'll win 

[Chorus]
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end 
Win in the end 
I'm gonna win in the end
