Fight

Fight! 

You have fallen below the floor
Useless muscles and tendons swollen

Fight! 

Demand your limits to give you more
Remove the weights and lay them broken

Fight! 

Thoughts and visions left in chronic war
Your mind betrayed and heart forgotten

Fight! 

Burden endured return to where you stood before
Destroy the traps and reclaim what was taken

Fight! 

Bleeding hearts and shattered bones you must ignore
Raise your chest to yell and feel this land begin to shaken

Fight!
