The Patriot
A Struggle for Redemption: The Patriot's Battle Within
Lyrics
I knew it had to come to this
I anticipated that it would lead to this point.
Making my mind up about who I call my friends
Deciding on who I consider my friends.
I used to pride myself on loyalty
I used to take pride in my loyalty.
But loyalty's the very thing that I lack
Ironically, loyalty is something I lack now.
I climbed my way through the ranks, with disregard for my own
I advanced in ranks, neglecting my well-being.
Now I will die on this ship, I have no place to call home
I am destined to die on this ship, with no home to claim.
I miss the brothers I lost, and now I'm all on my own
I mourn the loss of my brothers, left alone now.
Actions have consequences, God why'd you leave me alone?
Regretting consequences, feeling abandoned by God.
You won't take me alive
I won't surrender; I prefer to die resisting.
This ship is where I die
This ship is where my life will end.
By the end of the day, they will know my name
By the end of the day, I want my name to be known.
Another wound, another casualty
Each wound is another person lost.
There's vitality inside of me
I still have vitality and strength within me.
And if I somehow fall into their hands, let it be known that I made my stand
If captured, I want it known I stood my ground.
I've come this far, I won't go down
I've come too far to surrender.
I'm in too deep, please God, don't let me drown
Despite challenges, I pray not to succumb.
And I raise my voice
I express my decision loudly.
To let you know that this is my choice
This is my chosen path, and I want it known.
I'll sign my soul away
I am willing to sacrifice my soul for my choices.
