They think I'm am an inspiration
That all should know my struggles
And that they
As faithful souls stood up
Humble by my side
Holding the sword to my hand
And as demons came to temped me
Moved me to there whim
To let me fight my own battles
I asked why
Why must I slay them all
If myself will die as well
He told me to fight my own battles
And held the blade to my hand
