[Intro — low guitar riff, hard drums; strings enter with short, tense stabs] [Verse 1] Running hard with the headlights low One more mile and nowhere to go Every turn that I thought I knew Leads me somewhere I never knew [Verse 2] Road gets narrow, sky turns black No looking forward, no turning back Something's calling from up ahead Something better, or something dead [Pre-Chorus — strings rise underneath the guitar] I hear the thunder I feel it coming The road is shaking But I keep running [Chorus — full band, orchestra punches the rhythm] I'm running out, running out Running out of road Running out, running out Still carrying the load If the road disappears tonight I'll make my own way through I'm running out of road But I'm not running out of me [Verse 3] Guitar screams and the drums roll on Night gets darker but I won't stop Strings come crashing across the beat Like a storm coming down the street [Pre-Chorus — orchestra builds] I hear the thunder I feel it coming The whole world shaking But I keep running [Chorus — bigger, orchestra fully involved] I'm running out, running out Running out of road Running out, running out Still carrying the load If the road disappears tonight I'll make my own way through I'm running out of road But I'm not running out of me [Instrumental — guitar takes the main riff; orchestra answers it, strings gradually becoming more dominant] [Orchestral Break — full strings carry a powerful melodic theme; drums build underneath] [Guitar enters answering the orchestra, developing the theme into a hard-driving riff] [Guitar and Orchestra Duel — alternating phrases, building faster and heavier; drums and bass push relentlessly] [Bridge — sudden drop, voice with restrained guitar and low strings] Maybe there was never A road waiting there Maybe I was meant to Build one from nowhere [Drums build; orchestra rises] [Final Chorus — full rock band and full orchestra] I'm running out, running out Running out of road Running out, running out Still carrying the load If the road disappears tonight I'll make my own way through I'm running out of road But I'm not running out of me [Final Instrumental — orchestra and guitar unite on the main theme; huge drum finish] [Outro — guitar sustains while strings hold the final chord] Not running out... Not running out of me.
