Grief - In Defiance Lyrics

A Shadow of the Ideal
Surrounded by the brands
Of Fear, and Loss. Of Failure!
But I will harden my will
One by one they flow
In a moment's understanding
To see, the cost of a lifetime
At last alone, hear the roar in defiance
As I reach into the Shadow...
To finally gain a sense of Purpose!

With Purpose we stride
From beneath the dark
To face, the blinding light
To hear, the battle's roar
To know... our will made
Triumphant!

I see the path, the turns I made, and I weep for thee!
I can take no more...

Though you fight this battle all alone
We stand here by your side
One thousand wide and a hundred deep
Let their blows rain down!
Each step weaves a strength
Unseen into your tread
Contest the foe; fear fuels our fire!
Beloved one, carry this proudly
For with each step you
Cry Defiance!

Pray! That never will they seek
This ire, righteous and unleashed
This vengeance, with blackened wings unfold!

Too late! I see the path, the turns I made, and I weep for thee!
I can take no more...
