I've fought the fight, I'm black and blue

If only now just to pursue the things I thought were right
My only fear is you'll see right through me at all the things I have to hide

What has this cost me now?
Full-fledged denial, self-gratifying
To live and die with no regret would be just fine for me

I have fear in deep emotions
Come and lift me out of the dark
Blissful, ignite the battle

We know it's not eternal
We know
Our father, in heaven, we know
I fought the fight, I'm black and blue

This is the way we are
Beat down and scared it's nothing new
We choose now just what to do

This is the way we are
Live trying, die fighting
We know that this is the only thing worth fighting for

We choose our own path
The way that's right!
Drop down, beneath us!
And lift us up!
Down!
Down!
Down!
We all come down!
