My Time Is Near

I finally see the day
Where I will draw the line
Where I will have had enough
And stand up
Brand my sword

I’ll stare you down
And growl
Come no closer

I see the day is near
And feel the strength
Run through my veins

I feel the rage bubbling
I’m on the edge
And feel exhilarated

Freedom is nigh
And the backlash
Of repression is about
To be unleashed

Not at all what I expected upon the viewing the title... So glad to see 'Gauthier unleashed,' as opposed to the opposite (i.e., leashed)! :) gw
