Defiant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think back upon the past
And i knew you to be
Righting the wrongs in the name
Of all you believed
The one who brought the fight
Who never said die
Never letting fate decide
Be all you hope for
You were the best you could be
All that in tribute
All that you had achieved
No time for words
From those with nothing to say
Never letting fate decide
Until the end and back again
Defiant to the last man
`til there's nothing left
To fight against
No surrender
Unto the corners of the earth
Defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing
No surrender
Conjured the ground upon which
You've only stood
Buried the conflicts that had
Preyed on your mind
Found strengths in actions
That only courage achieves
Never letting fate decide
Until the end and back again
Defiant to the last man
`til there's nothing left
To fight against
No surrender
Unto the corners of the earth
Defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing
No surrender
Until the end and back again
Defiant to the last man
`til there's nothing left
To fight against
No surrender
Unto the corners of the earth
Defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing
No surrender
No surrender
No surrender
