Silence in the mountains
Sirens wail in city streets
The heat I radiate shall melt away all icy sheets
100 million years before the burnout of the sun
Dreams to be fulfilled
Life's still yet to come

If to fail is your fate
And to succeed is destiny
Place you hand up on your heart
And rise above in liberty

I am the marathon man
Catch me if you can
Got miles and miles already run
Miles and miles still left to come and
I am the marathon man
With the whole world in my hands

When the heat disturbs your senses
Sweet surrender to the realms
When the cold breaks down defenses
See me standing at the helm
100 million years before the burnout of the sun
Dreams to be fulfilled
Life's still yet to come

If to fail is your fate
And to succeed is destiny
Keep your eyes up on the prize
All join hands with me

I am the marathon man
Catch me if you can
Got miles and miles already run
Miles and miles still left to come and
I am the marathon man
With the whole world in my hands

If to fail is your fate
And to succeed is destiny
Keep your eyes up on the prize
All join hands with me

I am the marathon man
Catch me if you can
Got miles and miles already run
Miles and miles still left to come and
I am the marathon man
With the whole world in my hands
