Fate doth strike me once again
Shadows gnaw upon my pain
Yet I rise from ashen gloom
Hope's spark defies my mortal doom
Knocked down I shall not lie
Dark storms I yet defy
Though battered by sorrow's tide
I stand for I must abide
Cruel dawn hunts my weary soul
Still resilience keeps me whole
Dreams may shatter 'neath the night
Yet from ruin I reclaim my fight
Knocked down I shall not lie
Dark storms I yet defy
Though battered by sorrow's tide
I stand for I must abide
Ere night can claim my will
I rise defiant still
