Last Act Of Defiance

That final day has come to dawn<br/> I'm off to no-man's land<br/> Into the barbed-wire, into the smoke<br/> Where one's dreams turn to sand<br/> I look to the day<br/> when I'm back in your arms<br/> after the pain and misery of war<br/> When I look into your eyes<br/> and see your smile<br/> I know what I've been fighting for<br/> [chorus]<br/> I'm off to the front, you must not cry<br/> I'd die a thousand deaths<br/> before I'd live a lie<br/> Your love and trust in me<br/> is all I'd ever known<br/> Forget me not because<br/> one day I'm coming home<br/> Shattered dreams lay all around me<br/> yet my faith is strong<br/> To see the future of you and me<br/> keeps me carrying on<br/> You're in my thoughts day and night<br/> When I sleep you're in my dreams<br/> You're my sanity in this world of madness<br/> that's filled with cries and screams<br/> [repeat chorus]<br/> The train keeps on rolling<br/> to where many before me have fell<br/> For the blood and the glory<br/> and the sacrifice<br/> of a generation fighting in hell<br/> May I be brave as those before me<br/> Staring the shadow of death in the eye<br/> With passion and valor<br/> I'll stare in death's face<br/> for I'm not afraid to die<br/> [repeat chorus]

There is so much venom in your eyes<br/> So many stories that turned to lies<br/> What makes you so superior when you can't even stand on your own two feet<br/> You condemn my world without seeing<br/> Is everything you hear worth believing?<br/> Your heart is as plastic as your appearance<br/> You'll melt as soon as you face the heat<br/> I'll tell you a little about what makes me go<br/> No tricks, no gimmicks, just heart and soul<br/> If you don't stand by honor and truth<br/> There is no way you are ever gonna win<br/> You paint this picture that you're strong and true<br/> You think the whole world evolves around you<br/> Yet your actions shatter your world because you have no discipline<br/> <br/> <br/> Chorus:<br/> Tolerance over, end of game,you change your face but you remain the same<br/> Haunted by the past again<br/> Trust is lost, never to return, you picked the wrong door and now you're burned<br/> This, this is the end<br/> <br/> <br/> I've seen your types come and go<br/> You float from town to town trying to run the show<br/> You call yourself a leader, I call you a hypocrite<br/> When I turn my back, in goes the knife<br/> Because my ideals are my way of life<br/> Your fashion and games are nothing to me, for I don't give a shit<br/> I've heard the critics both far and near<br/> All that matters is who's standing here<br/> I'll continue going against the grain, for I make my own rules<br/> Being true to my heart is all I've known<br/> Even if I'm the last man standing alone<br/> Then such it is and so it will be, because I will never follow fools<br/> <br/> <br/> (Repeat Chorus) x2<br/> <br/> <br/> This, this is the end
