Defiance of Fate

So far away The night descends on one more day I call your name But no reply, nothing How to go on? Why wear a smile upon my face? I try to rise in vain But I can't defy, I can't defy my fate A silent dark At the end of every road A silent dark Now the silence calls me home Can't find a meaning In a cold uncaring world I long for days Days that once and never were My hopes begin to fade For I can't defy, I can't defy my fate A silent dark At the end of every road A silent dark Now the silence calls me home But will I lay down as my life passes by? Or will I raise up my fist to the sky? I will not go silently into the dark My flame will burn brighter than all the stars Uh! I will stand tall No, I will not go silently into the dark I will be known My flame will burn brighter than all the stars I will stand tall I will not go silently I will be known My flame will burn bright, so bright You will know my name You will hear my voice My life will have meaning, I have made my choice Now I stand defiant I stand in defiance of fate For all of time, my will and my spirit remain
