Resurrection


This light is fading These eyes are crying This blood is flowing These hands are shaking My mind is wondering why It's me that has to die My heart is telling me All I had to do was try They pushed me away Then brought down my day They said it'd be ok Then decided to betray My mind is wondering how I ever let my guard down My heart is telling me It's all over now So shall I stay and fight Or will I ditch my own right So where is my flight Or is this my own plight My mind is wondering where All the strength I bear has gone My heart is telling me It never left my soul So now here I stand The world against just one With a heart of bitter sorrow And a mind of raw emotion Ready to fight Ready to live Ready to give life To those who are lost Now they've done it once so far But never shall they succeed once more They must break through my barricades And knock me down, only to see me stand once more.
