he's a one man army, fighting on this battlefield
persistence is his creed and perseverance
their ignorance is his weapon, his abiding strength
can't bring him to his knees, he's standing tall

he's a warrior by nature with a heart of stone
his thick armor is impenetrable
his survival skills have served him well til now
but he just can not take anymore

rise above this pit of sorrow
despair in which they wallow
despise them all, their lives so hollow
and the lies that you can't swallow

intransigent and uncompromising, pushing it to the extreme
blame and shame, poisoned me but I'm not admiting defeat
they curtailed my life, irrevocably went wrong, what my frailties are stem from
perpetuating the dream, filling the gap, trying to compensate and redeem

this new
found man
is blooming out
out of pain and suffering
