[Verse]
Am
Making a living has a way of killing men
D Em C G
The lungs keep breathing but the soul suffocates within
G Am
There is nothing new under the sun, it's all the same
D Em C G
Need a revival 'cause survival's a losing game
[Pre-chorus]
G C Am D
Am I fighting the good fight? Am I on the run?
Bm C Am D C
Am I chasing vanity, or doing what needs to be done?
[Chorus]
G C G
A man must always have something to conquer
C G D
A woman to fight for, a war to be waged
G C G
We are born for the storm, to risk all and rebel
C G D G
To live hard and die well is why we were made
C G C G D G
[Verse]
Am
I've seen an evil that overcomes us all
D Em C G
The backs of good and wicked men are both against the wall
G Am
What then shall we do when we are destined for the dust?
D Em C G
Dig our feet into the earth and roll them sleeves up
[Pre-chorus]
Bm G C Am D
No matter our station, wages, or trade
Bm G C Am D C
Our labour is loving, it's a worthy way to spend all our days
[Chorus]

A man must always have something to conquer

We are born for the storm, to risk all and rebel

To live hard and die well is why we were made

Am
This life's a vapour that quickly escapes
D A Am G
My love, my hate, my memory will soon be erased
Am
So let's breathe in this vapour and drink this sea dry
D Em C G
Do and dare greatly 'til our last day arrives
[Instrumental]

A man must always have something to conquer
