A lantern to light my way
Through the darkness of this cage
A flame to burn away the cobwebs
That cling to my face
You give me life
You give me strength
When all else disintegrates
Take my life
Take my strength
Take what all the others forsake
Rage and despair at war within me
But this oath I give my everything
An eternity of resistance
To a world that deserves no forgiveness
The way is shut
But my path is straight
I know the way out
So I remain
My footing is sure
With every step
My blades before me
In the shape of an X
Straight Edge
