Defiance of Fate

So far away

The night descends on one more day

I call your name

But no reply, nothing

How to go on?

Why wear a smile upon my face?

I try to rise in vain

But I can't defy, I can't defy my fate

A silent dark

At the end of every road

A silent dark

Now the silence calls me home

Can't find a meaning

In a cold uncaring world

I long for days

Days that once and never were

My hopes begin to fade

For I can't defy, I can't defy my fate

A silent dark

At the end of every road

A silent dark

Now the silence calls me home

But will I lay down as my life passes by?

Or will I raise up my fist to the sky?

I will not go silently into the dark

My flame will burn brighter than all the stars

I will stand tall

No, I will not go silently into the dark

I will be known

My flame will burn brighter than all the stars

I will stand tall

I will not go silently

I will be known

My flame will burn bright, so bright

You will know my name

You will hear my voice

My life will have meaning, I have made my choice

Now I stand defiant

I stand in defiance of fate

For all of time, my will and my spirit remain
