Here - I stand before you all

This body's been beaten and battered

But I will not fall

Time - It may change me

As i look back upon this cold life

I see nothing but misery

Push me:Pull me:

I will not turn away

All this:Pain will:

Prove fruitful one day

You'll see

As I stand I see legions before me

They drink and they dance

In the night

Without thinking I unsheathe my sword

My body is ready to fight

I Walk into the fire

They say that I've sunk so low

But my goal lies much higher

I will, Not lie

Down in the grave

If they, Want me

I am not afraid

Tempting Providence once again

I fall to my knees and my hands

Tempting providence

When will this madness end

You made me the man that I am...

Now

That I am old and wise

The fire has dimmed to a wisp

But I'm still alive

Oh-

The end is much closer

I never thought I'd see the day

When it would be over

Hold me, Tell me today is the day

All this, Pain will soon go away

Tempting Providence once again

I fall to my knees and my hands

When will this nightmare end

Tempting providence once again

This nightmare will soon reach its' end
