You see we’re all dark and we’re all light; we choose to live in the day or the night. We bias one way and life switches it around, from peasant slave, to wearing a crown. But joy didn’t come with the wealth and the fame, you get very tired of everyone knowing your name. 

Your dark life as a no-one in which you were the light, brought happiness because we thrive in the fight.
Given everything, we don’t have to work – no struggle, no triumph, no change, insane! We wither and die like an oxygen starved flame.

No! Our essence is violence our legacy peace, but if we stop fighting existence will cease.
The struggle is REAL because it’s what life’s all about – so come with me king, off your throne, be stout.

To war we go, death brings us alive. With a sword in your chest you look up to the sky and realize that you never lived until now, when you found something worth dying for, and gave it all away.
