Everyone is capable of cowardice. That seems obvious. But for some reason, it feels less obvious that every person is equally capable of great courage. Hopefully, our wars will not be against our fellow man, but in any conflict we can make courageous decisions. We can show the courage to explore a new, difficult or unpopular idea that will open new doors. We can be brave enough to stand by people that need our help. The greatest show of strength is not in the display of muscle or brute force, but in the display of fearless resolve when it is needed most.
lyrics
Lyrics
Just gimme the weapon.
Get out of the way.
I'll do it my goddamned self
'cause you're too scared to die today.
Cower in the corner.
Your secret's safe with me.
You'll take the accolades when I vanquish the enemy
I peel back the lines just one blow at a time
live the lie, when I die steal my legacy.
I live on the front lines favored by angry Gods.
Succeed me on the throne,
your crown weighed down by albatross.
I'll face the nightmare.
Stay hid inside your dream.
So useless on the day of wrath and reckoning.
It is beyond comprehension
choosing security.
I'll trade my life for eternity.
As they fear me, pushing through the pain and misery.
I have learned that outside your cage I'm free.
All you'll see in your reflection isn't true.
For you know that this greatness wasn't you.
Eight times fallen, nine times rise.
False glory fades as your soul begins to retrograde.
And on the deathbed, a spirit cannot rest,
That traded luxury for sins left unconfessed.
In war and peace we die.
You chose the coward's life.
A soul dissatisfied,
all cowards live this life.
It is beyond comprehension.
Choosing security I'll trade my life (I'll trade my life) for eternity.
As they fear me, pushing through the pain and misery.
I have learned that outside your cage I'm free.
All you'll see in your reflection isn't true,
for you know that this greatness wasn't you.
If you feel fear, then fear will feed ascendants arise in bravery.
'cause if you fight, you'll never die.
I'm still alive
