akira the don - after the enemy lyrics

what motivates me?
first of all, with the man in the cave
and this idea and this thought of the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me and make me get up early and work hard to push myself
because i knew that somewhere out there, there was an enemy
a real enemy, a real man, a person, a human that was waiting
that was preparing for me
and therefore, i needed to preparе for him
i needed to be ready i needеd to be the things i always talk about
i needed to be stronger, faster, and smarter and better
so that when we did meet on the battlefield
i would be ready for that rendezvous, for that meeting, that fate, that battle
and that thought, that thought of the enemy, it absolutely fueled me
[chorus]
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me

and when i was a leader in the seal teams, in charge of men
it was even more profound because i was thinking about that rendezvous
for everybody that i led, everyone i was in charge of, everyone that i trained
and i felt that burden
the burden of responsibility to prepare those men
protect those, those men, those – those frog men
those warriors, my brothers
and it, it was my burden to train those guys and prepare them
and that burden, it may have made me a little bit crazy, a little bit paranoid
a little over+the+top
but i didn’t really know any
any other way

[chorus]
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me
so now, i am no longer a combat leader
i no longer prepare men for war
so the drive and the motivation is from a different place
it’s from a solemn place
the drive now and the motivation now is
not really from the enemy anymore
now it’s from my friends, my brothers
it’s from those seals that i knew and that i cared about
more than anything
and that they sacrificed everything for us, for me

[chorus]
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me
the enemy
that was a thought that used to drive me
and kinda haunt me

those guys, they gave their lives for us
and now, i cannot help but think and remember
that every breath that we take
it’s a sacred gift from those men
every day we have, every sunrise
every thought, and every smile and every laugh, it’s a gift
and i will treasure that gift, that gift of life
and i will not let it go to waste, not one second of it
i’ll cherish every moment of it
and i will live it
i will live it in their memory, in their honor
