My tribute to "Pacific Rim" and Mako Mori, the ass-kicking female Asian.

lyrics

Life in the stars, life in the ocean
Born under pressure
I was raised in commotion
Running down the streets in my blue dress
Heaving chest
Red shoe in my right hand
I'm no man
Understand?

Back to the wall and the kaiju keeps on chasin'
Callin' for my mama, but it's death that I'm facin'
I'm too young to be a predator, so I'm prayin'
For Stacker Pentecost in a jaeger
And he's slayin'

Pre-chorus:
I won't stand back 'cause I will fight
For a purpose that is right
I'm the hunter, not the hunted
At the end of the night
For my family, I vowed
This time vengeance is allowed
Look into my eyes
Tell me who's the monster now
Face the creatures at our door
I ain't hidin' anymore
We are canceling the apocalypse
Prepare for war
For my family, I vowed
And I'm gonna make 'em proud
Look into my eyes
Tell me who's the monster now

Chorus:
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger

They'll never take my home in the Shatterdome
Raleigh got my back and I got his
I won't fight alone
Never had a first kiss
But a neural handshake
I don't need to rush this
I ain't makin' no mistake

This might be the end of the world
I ain't lyin'
Are you gonna stand up?
You gonna sit there cryin'?
Are you gonna let them knock you down?
Fight against the hurricane
Imma come back swingin'
They ain't gonna knock me down again

Pre-chorus:
I won't stand back 'cause I will fight
For a purpose that is right
I'm the hunter, not the hunted
At the end of the night
For my family, I vowed
This time vengeance is allowed
Look into my eyes
Tell me who's the monster now
Face the creatures at our door
I ain't hidin' anymore
We are canceling the apocalypse
Prepare for war
For my family, I vowed
And I'm gonna make 'em proud
Look into my eyes
Tell me who's the monster now

Chorus:
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger

Bridge:
Dear Lord, I will sacrifice
Everything I have just to make it through this mess alive
Everything I love just to save all the human lives
If it be your will, grant me strength so that I survive
Dear Lord, I will sacrifice
Everything I have just to make it through this mess alive
Everything I love just to save all the human lives
If it be your will, grant me strength so that I survive
Dear Lord, I will sacrifice
Everything I have just to make it through this mess alive
Everything I love just to save all the human lives
If it be your will, grant me strength so that I survive
Dear Lord, I will sacrifice
Everything I have just to make it through this mess alive
Everything I love just to save all the human lives
If it be your will, grant me strength so that I survive

Clear a path for the lady
I'll always be here for you
You can always find me
You can find me in the drift

Chorus:
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
Live on my knees or die on my feet
Never ever will I admit defeat
I'm a ragin' Asian
Stop the invasion
I'm a fearless ranger
In Gypsy Danger
