Dark before the dawn: Fight Back

Goodbye to the night
I’ll wake up to the dawn
The moments are torn apart
and have taken their toll

The day went by
will haunt as an unwanted memory
The mistakes I made
will forever be etched by misery

I’ll be strong again
and will embrace the excruciating pain
Think about how to tackle this life
and how to fight through the night

Shattered to pieces
Shall not be my cup of tea
I’ll revolt once again
in front of the almighty

I’ll be the judge
I’ll be the jury
I’ll be the critic
of the loss and my glory

To be or not to be
shall be handled by my will
I’ll prove to be lethal
for what tears me from within

In the end
my strength will push it away
I’ll pierce through the darkness
that stands in my way

I will not surrender
and be a pawn
Forever
I’ll fight the dark before the dawn
