I feel defenseless as my whole body tenses

discontent caused by pretenses

fences put up around this endless emptiness

and no I can't fight it

Father, take this disease away from me

I want to stand up strong, unwavering

take me past the point of no return

Light up my selfish pride and watch it burn



(Chorus)

Stakes are high and what we are is more than meets the eye

not afraid to die

we rebel against this evil in our defense

our victory's clenched

Lose my life to find you

close my eyes to see

I will stop at nothing

You're my everything



this wickedness has got me on its hit list but I resist

I come against it with a closed fist

swing and miss

but they can't dodge my mad wit

feel the pain as they get a glimpse of my tactics

move on because the sunlight's almost gone

they think they're creeping in at night

but they're dead wrong

we've got the truth clenched tight and were running on

fast as we can in this life long marathon come on

we're marching on.
