Here - I stand before you all This body's been beaten and battered But I will not fall Time - It may change me As I look back upon this cold life I see nothing but misery Push me, pull me. I will not turn away All this pain will prove fruitful one day You'll see As I stand I see legions before me They drink and they dance In the night Without thinking I unsheathe my sword My body is ready to fight I walk into the fire They say that I've sunk so low But my goal lies much highter I will not lie Down in the grave If they, want me I am not afraid Tempting providence once again I fall to my knees and my hands Tempting providence When will this madness end You made me the man that I am Now That I am old and wise The fire has dimmed to a wisp But I'm still alive Oh The end is much closer I never thought I'd see the day When it would all be over Hold me. Tell me today is the day All this pain will soon go away Tempting providence once again I fall to my knees and my hands When will this nightmare end Tempting providence once again This nightmare will soon reach its' end
