For how much longer must I bleed
Into the soil before I see
The one who holds the blade is me?

For how much longer must I stand
On destiny's uncertain sands
Before I find stability?

One spark among the embers
One voice against surrender
One dream that's worth defending
One love that's neverending

Ignore the underlying cause
Among a thousand last hurrahs
Where every promise is a lie

Externalize the blame for now
The voice of reason disavowed
A slave to all that I decried

One spark among the embers
One voice against surrender
One dream that's worth defending
One love that's neverending
