Here - I stand before you all
This body has 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 unleash my sword
My body is ready to fight
I walk into the fire
They say that I've sunk too low
But my goal lies much higher

I will not lie
Down in the grave
If they want me
I'm 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
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
