you've covered me in shadow

you've shrouded me in flame

iv been torn before

iv collapsed beneath the weight of shame

but when I'm lying in the dirt

its comforting to know

your attempts to ruin me only strengthen my resolve

you hold claim to no one but hide it with deceit

you'll fail. you'll pay. you'll fade away.

i will play a part in nothing less than your defeat

to strong to fall into the mechanism made by you

I'm not your puppet, not your toy and ill never be your whipping boy

these hands aren't yours and they're not mine

but i use them now to draw the line

this is a force you cant destroy and

ill never be you're whipping boy

no, never.

I am not your whipping boy

i will rise, i will rise above you for you are beneath my feet

all these scars, scars you gave me remind me of my undying faith

so hear me when i tell you this war has just begun

when the battle ends and the smoke has cleared ill ask you who has won
