I’m born to ride the crashing wave
To conquer each challenge anew
Ready to fight, forever brave
Ready to face a foe like you
Out from the shadows you appear
And steal me from my sheltered home
The day has come, the day we fear
Now I must face you on my own
You have me now, you didn’t ask
Lust and greed your only reason
But all that strength is just a mask
Stripped away, I see you demon
Your stench, your breath, your icy touch
Are not enough to close my eyes
And through the pain I know this much
I’ll never be your helpless prize
So we begin our violent dance
You have the rage, but no control
Don’t you realize there is no chance
Against the thunder of my soul?
Beyond the darkness into light
Is a warrior breaking free
Did you think that I would not fight?
I had no doubt,
I count on me
Beyond my pain beyond my fear
For no one will I bend a knee
My heart is fire, my mind is clear
My spirit is a roaring sea
