I Wage a War
Defying Darkness: Troy The Band's Battle for Light
Lyrics
Daylight has become a forgotten memory
Daylight symbolizes a distant and fading memory.
No, I can't remember the sun
The speaker struggles to recall a time when things were brighter and happier.
Something lurks in this place, its nails claw at my face
A sense of danger is present, and the speaker feels attacked by unseen forces.
No, I will not back down or run
Despite the challenges, the speaker is determined not to give in or flee.
And I will not obey the voices in the dark
The speaker rejects the negative influences and refuses to follow harmful voices.
I'll see another day
The determination to face and survive another day is expressed.
They can't tear me apart
Confidence in resisting external pressures; a commitment not to be torn apart.
I was not born just to die
A declaration that life has more purpose than mere existence and death.
Little by little, I see less of the night sky
Observing a gradual loss of positivity or hope, symbolized by the diminishing night sky.
Yes, one day the sun will return
Anticipation of a positive change, with the belief that the sun will eventually return.
The thing in the darkness is completely helpless
The threatening presence in the dark is portrayed as powerless.
Yes, the daylight will make it burn
Hope in the power of daylight to overcome darkness and challenges.
And I will not obey the voices in the dark
Reiteration of resistance against negative influences and voices.
I'll see another day
Renewed determination to witness and experience another day.
They can't tear me apart
Continued strength against external forces seeking to divide or weaken.
Now I wage a war against the nightfall
A shift to actively fighting against the encroaching darkness or challenges.
I fight for my life
A literal or metaphorical battle for survival and a meaningful existence.
Daylight destroys the night
Highlighting the power of daylight to dispel the darkness of night.
Now I'll never obey those voices in the dark
A final refusal to obey negative influences, suggesting triumph over adversity.
I'll see many more days
Expressing the expectation of experiencing many more positive days ahead.
They can't tear me apart
Continued resilience against external forces, emphasizing indivisibility.
I was not born just to die
Reiteration that life's purpose goes beyond succumbing to death.
