I will rise in resistance;

Sing the oath of rebellion,

And cease fire

on this high wire,

Head to toe in vanity...

When those eyes in the mirror

stare back at me,

I'm reminded that the ghost of pride

is clear to see...

Wipe away the weakness,

Will you let those scars define you?

Or will they adorn you

as we carve our way to victory?

Doubt is crying out

but I refuse to let it drown me...

Wearing down my fight

till nothing's left!

I say crier!

I say liar!

I say rise in Hell!

I stand gazing down at death

as they say war!

I'll wage war!

I hate war!

They say fight for peace...

but what is that?

(My hand,

can you reach it?

My cry,

can you hear it?

Can you,

can you tell me,

if this "dream" was worth it?

My hand,

can you reach it?

My cry,

can you hear it?

Can you,

can you help me?

Wake me from this nightmare...)
