Standing afraid, unafraid
Played and won
The battles that are done
The lights within the shade
Revenge, sweet and sour
The bells, toiling, toiling
The lies, uncoiling
The shadows growing every hour
Stand, stand, stand and breathe
Chase your dreams, pull back your bow
All this, no one but us will know
Give a grin and flash your teeth
Allies, foes, murderers, death, destroy it all!
Why, why, why, why why?
Why fight when you inevitably die?
Why get up when you'll only fall?
But stand, take my hand, and let out a sigh
I know your legs are shaking--mine are too
But know that I am here, standing with you
Until the day we both die.
