I'm watching the time pass
I'm watching my dreams die
The abyss shows
That the child's grown
Apathy reigns supreme in the abyss
I know in my heart, I am greater than this
What could have been, what should have been
Regret plagues me
I have hope, I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling
The only master I will obey
I'm watching the stars rise
They weigh on my conscience
Will I be a guiding light?
Will I be forgotten?
Vitality reigns supreme, when we are strong
I feel in my heart, this is where I belong
What could have been, what should have been
Never again
I have hope, I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling
The only master I will obey
Who was I before they told me who to be?
I'm relinquishing fear
I'm resurrecting hope
I must not hear the naysayers
The ones disillusioned by rage
A self projection of all they could never be
You can live with your weak mind, but stay the hell away from me
You can live with your weak mind, but stay the hell away from me
Oh how this world has beat me down
Ascending further from the ground
Oh how this world has beat me down
I must take the fall
And rise above it all
Ascending further from the ground
No more will I fall
I'm above it all
As I sit here with this pen and paper
I'm writing words that mean nothing, yet everything
My God, I swear to you
I will see this through
Morning will come again
The sun will rise
These words are my memories
Telling stories of a life once lived
This is my vow
Living life out loud
This is my declaration
These words are echoes
Radiating through my screams
Manifested through my dreams
I have hope, I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling
The only master I will obey
This is my declaration
Built from my foundation
This is my declaration
Built from my foundation
Passion flows through my veins
This demon I've slain
