Battle Scars
[Verse 1]
We are all in together
Call it a grudge
I call it a better
Way to Channel my burden
From hurt and regret
I refuse to forget that I am who I am
Not a demon or man
But I fight to defend
My life and my friends
The world that I'm in
Is the home that I know
Even though they say I don't really fit when I glow

[Verse 2]
But This is
My curse and my strength
Born of bad blood, but raised with the faith and hope
That I could do better
Be Better
Better believe that I will never let a drop of bad blood stop me from reaching my destiny ever
Said I'll never let a drop of bad blood stop me from reaching my destiny

[Verse 3]
I do what I do cause I've chosen my way
Raised by a rebel
My path's where I stay
Never battle for blood
Or take life without reason
Trust seeing's believing
I am what you see
Bat watch the actions
When I unleash what's within
My True heart shaped in love has the fiercest of passion
[Verse 4]
So I grow and you grow
Still I know I don't know what my limits are
Cause it's always in the heat of battle
Where
I need to show and prove
When it comes down to it (They wanna know)
"What will you really do?"
So I train to stay focused
Let me get loose
I step from the car
Take the wheel, I've got demons to deal with
Unsheathe the sword
Blue flames ablate
Ok, let's do this

[Verse 5]
Set em up / knock em down
Their's always someone to protect
And I wanna move now
No time to debate
It's not complicated
While you want me to wait
I ready to take the party to whoever wants it
There's too much action going on for me to lay low
So what I want is to be as strong as I can be
[Hook]
Now
Let me glow like a beacon of hope
No, I'm not blind to the fact of the techniques I lack I'm still a work in progress and we're all learning to focus
But don't hold me back base on my blood line
It's origin is not an oracle for my life nor my drive
Your's choices are your's
My choices are mine
I'm choosing to be the best bar none
With friends that help keep me in line
Cause
We are all in together
With good reason to stand
We want to live better
Overcoming loss and fear
No time to get distracted
Time is short and the enemy may have more strength at night
But there is no mission abort
The only path to cut is forward
Now let's go for it
It's past the point of no return
Time to move forward

[Verse 6]
They call me Spawn of the Devil
But I don't want Gehenna
So to Hell with the Devil
For my family and home
I'll be a defender
Count me as a wild card
Though I am not a weapon
I make my curse my blessing
To defend what's important
Count me as a wild card
God, use my curse as a blessing
