We all enter the battlefield today
I know this game will go my way
We grab our gear
Then we run without fear
I'm the first to claim my spot
As I wait I'm getting hot
Crouched down low
My knees feel like they'll blow
I can't take this anymore
So I spring up off the floor
A target became clear
He still didn't  hear
My weapon is now in aim
I pull the trigger of shame
Thousands of lights dance
To the target in a trance
I had won this game
Tonight I had the fame
The points were won
Tomorrow the victory will be gone
