Lyric

Lying in a puddle, red and deep

With a wound so cruel, it makes me weep

You thought I’m weak, that I’m no threat—

But nonsense like that, I’ll never forget

The battle’s lost, but not the war

Though I’m tired, I’ll kill once more

I don’t need God, no judge or fate

Just body, listen, don’t hesitate

Body, obey the orders given

Don’t you dare let yourself be beaten

Defeat’s a word I won’t embrace

I refuse to know that place

I may die slowly, fade away

Like fire drowning in the spray

I don’t care—this flesh will break

My mind is still awake

I don’t thirst for endless life

Or to grow old, free from strife

No one will touch my silver hair

So why should I even care?

Hands, grip tight and hold me fast

I have to win, escape the past

I’ll start anew, it won’t be tough—

Sing the song of victory rough

Legs, lift up this broken frame

It’s time for you to play the game

Do your job, then rest again

And lie down till it’s time to stand

The glare is harsh, it burns my eyes

I barely see through all the lies

How much longer must I fight?

Let’s settle scores before the night

I beg your gaze to stay with me

You must help, so I’m not free

But trust me when I say tonight

Darkness will consume the light

Blood, run faster through my veins

Spirit, burn and break your chains

I won’t fear the cost it takes

No regrets for what it breaks

Give me just a moment’s grace

I must win this final race

Then there’ll be no meaning left

I’m ready now to be bereft

Body, obey the orders given

Don’t you dare let yourself be beaten

Defeat’s a word I won’t embrace

I refuse to know that place
