There's a man who sold his life to buy a vision
And his vision turned into an empty sky
And as the memory unfolds, too many stories told
To discover one true feeling was a lie

I'd rather be hostage to fortune
They've taken all I've got to give
I'll take a chance forever, it's now or never
I'll find a better life to live, ooh
(Yeah, yeah)

I used to think that every question held an answer
And every friend would nеver ever lеt me down
The hero always won the prize, the light shone from his eyes
But in the darkness, all his dreams came tumbling down

I'd rather be hostage to fortune
They've taken all I've got to give
I'll take a chance forever, it's now or never
I'll find a better life

'Cause I wanna be hostage to fortune
They've taken all I've got to give
I'll build a dream forever, it's now or never
I'll find a better life to live

There's a hero in my soul
Breaking down these demon walls
The time has come
No need to live a lie

'Cause I wanna be hostage to fortune
They've taken all l've got to give (All I have to give)
I'll take a chance forever, it's now or never
I'll find a better life to live
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

'Cause I wanna be hostage to fortune
They've taken all I've got to give
(I wanna be, I wanna be)
Ooh, I want to be, oh
I wanna be hostage to fortune
They've taken all I've got to give
I wanna be hostage to fortune
