Survival

The official song of the London Summer Olympics is called Survival by the group Muse. Perhaps in homage to the Royal Jubilee, the style of this song resembles the rock anthems of the rock band Queen. The video that accompanies this song shows a variety of Olympic athletes performing and triumphing in their sports.

Race, life's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And I light the fuse [1]
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive [2]

Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead [3]
I'll keep up the pace [4]
And I reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I am prepared

To stay alive
And I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in [5]
Because I choose to thrive

Yeah we're gonna win !

Race, it's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And will I light the fuse
I'll never lose
And I choose to survive

Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
'Cause I'll keep up the pace
And I reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I'm gonna win !

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!

Yes, I'm gonna win!

[1] Y enciendo la mecha, [2] Y elijo sibrevivir, [3] no me adelantarás, [4] mantendré el ritmo, [5] no me daré por vencido
