(Verse 2) They offer kingdoms, gold, and fame If I agree to curse your name They promise peace if I just bend And let this foolish story end But every breath I take is yours You are the cause worth fighting for So let them watch, let them all see What you alone have made of me (Chorus) For you, I'll face the hurricane's might For you, I'll turn the darkness to light Let them come with their armies, their judgment, their scorn A new age...
