Caught in the undertow being swept downstream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold your ground when you start to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side
Wise up, rise up

(Coro)
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat
You can dare to win by losing all,
you can face the heat - dare to Beat the System

On the assembly line trying to break the mold
Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold
Going against the odds being the underdog
Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog

You can go for it all
You can go for broke
You can turn the tide around
You can aim for the top
And take the lion's share
If you dare to hold your ground

"Ganale Al Sistema"

Estas atrapado en medio de la corriente que te lleva hacia abajo.
Ir contra la marea parece un sueño imposible.
Tratar de mantener tu lugar cuando empiezas a deslizarte...
De todas partes te presionan para que cedas.
Avívate, levántate.

Coro:
Puedes ser mas que un vencedor, nunca enfrentaras la derrota.
Puedes atreverte a ganar perdiendo todo, puedes enfrentar el fuego...
Anímate a ganarle al sistema.

Estas en la línea de ensamble, tratando de romper el molde.
Es hora de tirar del cable que va a parar todo.
Ir en contra de lo probable, ser el mas débil...
Atrévete a sacar la espada que va a cortar la niebla.

Puedes ir por todo.
Puedes quedarte sin nada.
Puedes cambiar la dirección de la corriente.
Puedes ir hacia la cima
y tomar la porción del león,
si te animas a mantener tu lugar...

Muy horible.

Heh, I'm only joking. It was awesome.

[UnknownPetraFan]

Jejeje... well, maybe you want to say: "Muy Horrible". Or only "Horrible"; thats the regular use, without "muy". Blessings. UPF

[PetraRocks97]

Lol, this song is perfect for right now. I was working on an Algebra quiz *gag!* and picked this song to listen to, then I looked at the quiz name, and it's "solutions to special cases in systems". I've got to beat the system(s)! With an A hopefully...I could use it...

@unknownpetrafan, I could swear Witch Hunt was on this album. I got it mixed up with Carman's Witch's Invitation so I want to find the mistaken song. Hmm. last post 3 years ago? ok...I'll move on.

[MDCSWildcats86]

My personal favorite of theirs.

I often imagine myself performing this song on stage as part of a hybrid cover with Dream Theater's "new Millenium". That song has a chorus of "I've got this feeling/ the tide is turning our way/Funny Feeling/Everything's going to be all right, now" which, to me, complements BTS perfectly.

In addition, both songs are in C# minor.

I dont get it... Computer Brians/Clean and a couple others give me this?? This video contains content from EMI, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

why just those and not the rest? you need to get with petra and get permission for all this stuff or something. this is ridiculous!! i love those blocked songs so much!!

[MrBiggerben]

All time favorite song from Petra!

[unknownpetrafan15]
