Staring out into the distance
Eyes clouded with the wind
Past is washing down the stream
And the weight is pushing down
I grab the only thing I have
The blade of my collected hope
And I charge forward into battle
Against the hordes of fear and doubt
The field of war before my eyes
Turns red and black amidst the chaos
Steel sings of deeds once done
And screams of terror of what's to come
I hack and I slice
Through their bodies of collected dread
Over and over
Never ending stream of violence
It rages on and on
The chaos of a war inside my mind
And the monsters from within
Are creeping onwards unhinged
My blade is shattered
My body is sore
I feel the darkness in my veins
Shadows out for blood and more
I search and I search
For a glimmer at the end
But the only thing is war
A never ending eradication
I feel the ringing in my ears
As the mighty hordes descend
from within the scream comes shouting
A final call to war
I lost the strength of my eyes
And I continue to fight on
I lost the strentgh of my hands
And I continue to fight on
I lost the strength of my arms
And I continue to fight on
I lost the strentgh of my legs
And I continue to fight on
I have the strentgh of my soul
And I continue to fight on
I have the strentgh of my heart
And I continue to fight on
As long as it still beats in my chest
For those I have to protect
My voice still reaches the fight
And I can scream for what is right
I will continue to fight on
