Move against the odds that force you back
At every step of the way
And though defeat is certain
Know that you will always rise again
Though the end is always near
You keep the flame alive inside yourself
As the others fall and crash and burn
Their bodies piling up around your feet
Not you
Still you go
Go and fight
Die again
Keep pushing on
Through the pain
Be reborn
The fighting will never be done
But what will you do
When you realize
You're no better than melting ice
In a lake of flame and fire?
What will you say when you see the day
When your power fades away
And you're left alone
To climb the mountain on your own?
Would you
Still go on
If you knew
You would die
And not come back
From the dead?
Even though
The fighting will never be done
The real test comes only when
Defeat surrounds you
And your victory
Is nowhere to be seen
Is a cause worth dying for
When your death won't mean a single thing
Are you brave?
Or are you just a fool?
Who knows
For what he stands
And who feels
In his heart
That he must die
With his sword
In his hand
The fighting will never be done
Never be done, never be done, never be done
