This belief
Honor, I hear as I wake up.
Only true belief I've been given.
Stronger than a belief in a deity, in a god, in a man-
stronger than my own existance.
Honor, it was preached to me, and it keeps my heart right on beating-
Beat-
beat-
beat.
Stop.
What does it mean?
Honor, to do what is right when no one is watching
honor, to do what is hard when it seems impossible
honor, the only reason a mans heart should be beating
honor. To do what you do well and don't be defeated.
And here I am standing as it's been preached.
My brothers and sisters they stand next to me and I ask
who here has honor?
cuz if they don't, man they ain't worth it
Could be a hero but without honor whats it stand for?
Stands for nothing.
So you ask me what I couldn't live without
and I ain't afraid to tell you.
It's the belief that honor will get me through this.
Might slay me, might destroy me, might beat me to ash
but I'd rather be dead
than give that passion.
