One day, you will return
With scars from faded burns
You would close your eyes
And hear your soul's cries
For day and months and years
You have hidden his silent tears
You are broken within
It's the worst you've ever been
Sometimes you crave
"Give me that damned grave"
For you've had enough
And life has been really tough
You look behind to what you've lost
You feel it wasn't worth the cost
Denying the cozy arms of beloved
Why did you choose this battle instead?
And when you feel like calling it quit
I want you to think just a little bit
Did you really come this far
To come only this far?
Look around at the mutilated
You live even when they're dead
What kept you going along?
It's your heartbeat, your battlesong
As long as that song goes
Do not ever go soft on your foes
It's what reminds you of your duty
Blood and sweat is your true beauty
Your knees will shiver
And you won't find it queer
How the biggest men went down
Even when they deserved the crown
Because life will always be tough
But you're tougher and that's enough
You won't quit with a clean sword
Promise me, give me your word
Before you wear your shroud
Make sure the battle song is so loud
Your enemies hear it too
Before your sword, the song pierces all through
Can you hear it, the battlesong
You know what it carries along
The hope of the ones you love
Who always keep your interests above
You can't quit because you won't
You know this is all you want
You've lost it all for this day
Victory is yours, come what may
You are the beast, not their pet
Make sure you pay every debt
Every tear is avenged
Every insult gets its revenge
The ones who pushed you to the ground
Make sure they shudder at your sound
You've waited enough for their Karma
It's time you became Karma
With every breath you take
It's your legacy you make
The glory that kisses your feet
I promise you, the end will be sweet
But you must not fall till then
Your "Why" should overpower their "When"
Don't let them tell you who you are
They're fools, ONLY YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
Rise and embrace your battles
You're the beast, not those dumb cattle
You have always deserved so much more
Sing your song loud and make'em HEAR YOU ROAR.
