One Wish

You could care less

About any hurting that’s going through my mind

You could walk away from me

Knowing I was dying and all alone in this world

You never once told me

That I was the One

And I never asked in fear of

Waking up to reality

You left me in the dark

Without a door to break down

A window to smash into a million little pieces

The moon in all her glory

Loves to mock my tears

Illuminating them so that everybody can see

And the demons within

Know I’m fair game

It’s hunting season

And oh, it’s time for my pain

Take a look at my heart

If there’s anything left

Then rip it apart

And leave it for dead

There are thousands of people marching down

Roads full of corpses rotting in the sun

Mother’s who’ve lost hope

Men who don’t care anymore

And worst of all

They’ve got the children living no better than slaves

So you better get up

You better not give in

This ain’t the time for pity

There’s nothing left to lose

Either you’re in to fight

Or you’re out of sight

Just think about

All those who’ve died in your place

No one said there’d be no doubt

Why do you think I can stand your face?

Its not just coincidence

Here and now--at last there’s no running left

No where to hide

No one to apologize

No whys or hows

Just Goodbyes

Get used to it

You think this is the end?

Don’t take the easy way out

Don’t pretend there’s nothing to worry about

‘Cause when you’re without a friend

Without a special somebody to hold out their hand

You can’t be so weak

No, not anymore you can’t

You’ve got more than lives on the line

Its their sanity taking the risk

Hoping their hearts will still beat on

Praying that their bodies will last

We all have something to chance

Something we got to protect

No matter what

No matter why or how

This is the way we play now

So remember your name

Don’t be turning a blind eye

Take a turn for the worse

Don’t hope for the best

Don’t even pray for more than what you’ve got

You can’t leave it all to fate

You got to decide

Whether its worth the time

To be good

Or better for all to let the demons rise

To be so bad

What more harm could you do?

When the world has lost its mind?

When everyone is looking out for number one?

There’s no time for kindness

Pity

Or gratitude

Leave all you know in the dust

Sweep those fears into the abyss

Curse all who you must

There’s no room for mercy in the shadow of the eclipse

What do you have to laugh about?

Nothing

Everything

For all that you’ve lost

For everyone who’ve given in

No time for tears

No reason to be free

You’ve got to take a stand

When no one else dares

When no one wants to care

You know its right

You daclare this is your right

You refuse to be a puppet

You could care less about being the perfect student

Screw all those cowards

Who know the truth

Who stand idle in the shadows

They may have been born to it

But that don’t mean they have to stay there

Can’t they see they can make a change?

Don’t they realize all they have to do is face the world?

Yeah

I know how hard it is

I can see the way you glance at the door you came through

We all want a way out

We all need some space

But sometimes there’s nothing

Nothing to do but take that step

And become the heroes we can

Slay the dragons that may come our way

Save who needs saving

Protect those who can’t protect themselves

This is our way

Some of us do it ‘cause we’ve got no choice but to fight

Or be left to die

Some of us just can’t stomach the screams

The heartbroken pleas

And the rest of us are damned

So what have we to lose?

And even more

Some of us just want to die

‘Cause we are tired of running

Of pretending we don’t hear nothing

Of turning our backs on the people we care for

Of being shunned everywhere we go

Of facing death but never its wrath

Of living a lie we never wanted in the first place

So many reasons

So many times we’ve wished for the end

Now we know certain death lies here

In this war of hate

Love

And hope

We know we’ll be the first

We can see the blood drain from us

And we can smile

We can laugh

We’re going to get our wish

We’re going to be judged

Heaven

Or Hell

We don’t give a damn

So long as we get our end

Memories

And token promises

They cloud all our minds

They help us to stay strong

And there’s no where to go

But forward and try not to cry

Cannot dare to hope for less than the enemy’s head

Its time for everyone who forgot their rights

For anyone who’s done not caring

For all the rest who just have to keep going

FIGHT

FIGHT FOR ALL

FIGHT FOR YOURSELF

FIGHT FOR THE ONES YOU LOVE

FIGHT FOR THE ONES YOU HAVE LOST

FIGHT ON

AND FIGHT PROUD
