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.
