I live for this

[slobberknocker]

I finally found a song that seems to speak what powerlifting means to me. It's called "Live for This" by Hatebreed.


"Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this"


This video is from the latest Arnold Classic bench competition which happend maybe a week or so ago. Watch the video and listen to the lyrics. It really struck a chord inside me.

the lyrics


Let's go!
Live for this, Live, Live
Live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something, You'll die for nothing.
Through the best and the worst
The struggle and sacrifice.
For the true who've remained and the new blood.
Motivation, undying allegiance
Striving through the hardships and affliction.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
Live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing.
What we have are not possessions we own
It's not weighed by greed or personal gain
This is real a desire for freedom.
A place apart from a world in abandon.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing.
I live for this.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this

Great song, no doubt. Would've liked the video better if it hit the other two lifts as well though.

 

[Mudge]

Decent album from them, although I like death metal better.

damn son you made my nipples hard. true power is displayed on the platform. you see the steel dont lie. you can pose in front of a mirror, strut around in your thong and paint yourself bronze just like the fonz. put the plates on the bar and test your fortitude, lets see who has the biggest gonads. just when you think you have arrived there is another plate just smiling at you. she dont cheat. she is always encouraging but just out of reach. the battle is with the steel, not with man. load it up and lets see what you got. the steel is real. she is my church, my sanctuary. christ saved my soul but the steel keeps me real. thank you Jesus

That spotter on the right - his ass should be whipped.

Excellent lyrics bro.

The lyrics are good but certainly not my type of music. The dude sounds like a tool.
