Standing on the rocky cliff Facing the oncoming storm Do I flee like last time? Tuck and run like a coward? No, not this time Now I make my stand The sky fades to black Lightning shatters the darkness The wind tears at my face My fear grows Too late to turn away The time to flee is gone This stand I make alone It is the only way Defiance is my guide My beliefs carry me on I must stay strong Unless I wish to fall The worst is upon me My clothes are ripped to shreds The wind screams at me The thunder's concussive blast Threatens to knock me down But still I stand tall So close to defeat My resolve unwaivered My heart d
