Mantra

IF THE WORLD HAS FAILED YOU
LEAVE THE CROSS YOU’RE NAILED TO

THEY TOLD YOU, YOU WERE GOOD FOR NOTHING THEN
BUT WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH IN THE END?
NO ONE AMONG THEM EVEN CHOSE YOUR SIDE
BUT IT’S IN YOU – THE INSTINCT TO SURVIVE

IF THE WORLD HAS FAILED YOU
LEAVE THE CROSS YOU’RE NAILED TO

YOU WILL BRAVE THE ONCOMING STORM
AND SOON THE TIDES WILL TURN
BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO RISE AND WATCH THESE CITIES BURN

FOR EVERY HURTFUL WORD THAT’S THROWN YOUR WAY
WHO AMONG THEM HAD A GLORIOUS DAY?
THE DOUBTFUL, SPITEFUL, THEY ARE BOUND TO FAIL
YOU WILL PULL THE VACUUM FOR YOUR SAIL

WITH EVERY WORD SPOKEN JUST HOLD MY HAND
THEY HAD NO IDEA OF THE HELL YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH ALL ALONG
ALL ALONE BY TOOTH AND NAIL
YOU ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE WORLD
FOREVER THEY ARE THREATENED BY A DEMON ALSO KNOWN AS ENVY

IF THE WORLD HAS FAILED YOU
LEAVE THE CROSS YOU’RE NAILED TO

AND WE SHALL CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORY
AS THEIR EMPIRES CRUMBLE AT YOUR FEET
FROM THE START YOU HAD IT INSIDE
YOU ARE A LEGEND – FOREVER TRUE AND TRIED

A BURNING MASS OF DETERMINATION
GETTING STRONGER EVERY SINGLE DAY
YOU NEVER NEEDED ANYONE’S APPROVAL
FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT THEY HAVE HELL TO PAY

WITH EVERY WORD SPOKEN JUST HOLD MY HAND
THEY HAD NO IDEA OF THE HELL YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH ALL ALONG
ALL ALONE BY TOOTH AND NAIL
YOU ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE WORLD
FOREVER THREATED BY A DEMON ALSO KNOWN AS ENVY
