The song 'Death Ground' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
All in, fall out, fate is calling, go time, no doubt
Locked in and on a route
Headlong, headstrong
Beckoned by the trek I’m meant on
And just like that I’m gone

Dogged on the trail, drawn to the dawn beyond the pale
A long and roaming climb to this moment in time
And now I'm…

[CHORUS]
Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, wholly in the zone of no return
Although all that I know is risked on this only throw
My soul is bold, devoted to a solemn oath I hold:

I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

[VERSE 2]
Left on my own, by threshing of the flesh I am honed
And so my will is shown
Chasing safety, never came to save me safely
I firewalk alone

Tossing all the dross, forging a way in an ireful fray
To the destined land through the dust and sand
Oh, I must, I know, so, I am...

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Now I’m…
Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, fully in the zone of no return
And even although it’s all we know 
We’ll risk it on this only go
For the soul is made whole
Devoted to a common goal we can hold

I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

Death Ground

Buy Here

The waves keep rollin’ in
Like the days of my life
They all look the same
How do I shift the tide?

I used to dance until midnight
And pioneer new lands alone
I’d risk it all for a great love
Oh tell me where has she gone

Am I still the same girl I used to be
I’ve got more lines on my face
I’ve got more history
Can I take the best of her
And set the rest free
And become, become, become
Who I was meant to be

I’ve looked in the mirror
stared deep into my eyes
Asked myself the hard questions 
Trying to tell myself no lies

I’ve been carrying you on my back
Unable to forgive
But that leaves little space
For new life to come in

Am I still the same girl I used to be
I’ve got more lines on my face
I’ve got more history
Can I take the best of her
And set the rest free
And become, become, become
Who I was meant to be

Who I was Meant to Be
