when dawn breaks with scattered thoughts
the sun will rise as tension climbs
to feel this tension every day
I’d watch it rise a thousand times
catching fire helps me
become who I need to be
fight for glory, there’s nothing left here
to hold back now, I swear I will survive
I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been
I won’t back down, I swear I will survive
the taste of blood and burning skin
the pain reminds me I’m alive
I look to pain as guiding light
this light a reason to survive
time is uncertain, and in these troubled times
it is clearly a mistake to turn your back
