I stand in a barren void that's featureless
  No sight or sound can penetrate at all
  Though silent storms may try to tear me down
  When dusk descends, I'll still be standing tall
  
  CH
  To the ones who want me on my knees
  You cannot control my destiny
  There is light that flows throughout my veins
  And there is darkness for the ones who bring me pain
  
  Unrelenting, unforgiving hopelessness
  Pummeled from all directions for days on end
  Can't turn the other cheek, it's far too bruised
  Can't play the part of saint, I won't pretend
  
  (CH)
  
  Daylight breaks and shatters empty skies
  Has nothing changed for better or for worse?
  The cycle just repeats itself again
  Can't tell if I am blessed or I am cursed
  
  (CH)
