And so begins this journey,nAlthough the path is closed.nClouded by dark and doubtnBegins this day.nnAnd so begins the struggle.nAccept the challenge althoughnThe odds are far to great to overcome.nnI leave sorrow far behind.nI cast all fear into the wind.nThough shadow pain endures,nI lift my feet and carry on.nnFor on this black sunrise,nI will not be afraid.nAs darkness fills the sky,nI shall not turn away.nI stand and face the grey.nnI have suffered firenAnd battled through the gale.nThe strain of war shows on my weathered face.nBattered, cracked, and weary,nClenched fists with calloused hands.nBut I will know death before I taste failure.nnI gather strength from blood,nDismiss my weakness, and push forward.nResist defeat, hold strong.nI lift my head and carry on.nnFor on this black sunrise,nI will not be afraid.nAs darkness fills the sky,nI shall not turn away.nI'll stand and I'll face the grey.nnWith a defiant breath,nI'll rise up from my knees,nWipe the sweat and the blood from my eyes,nAnd I'll carry on.nnFor on this black sunrise, nI will not be afraid.nAs darkness fills the sky,nI shall not turn away.nnWith a defiant breath,nI'll rise up from my knees,nWipe the sweat and the blood from my eyes,nAnd I'll face the grey.
