Standing here
I feel no fear

Head held high
A spark in my eye

The darkness comes
Choking my lungs

Eyes grow dimmer
The sun looses its glimmer

The ground crumbles away
And yet, here I stay

Standing so tall
During the fall

Of the world and the people
As the sky crushes the steeple

The moon and the sun
Go and have fun

The sky falls down
Onto the town

And the children flee
But not me.

I stand here, proud
My voice so loud

As I say to the sky
“And now it’s just you and I.

“I struggle to breathe,
and I feel you seethe,

“Because here I stand,
with blood on my hand,

“and I’m stronger than you
for all that you do.”

And then I died
With only my pride.

But that was enough
Because I was tough
I don't even know...
