(Whispered) It's King Creed
They say hard times never last
But in mine, it seems endless, rootless
How can I fight when the odds are against me?
They say we start from crawling to walking
But mine is a reverse, I'm just stalling
How can I run when I can't even walk?
Look at what this fake life has turned me into
Even my wife, Rachael, is fed up with me now
I promised you the world, but I'm living in a vow
Broken into pieces, how can I protect you?
When I can't even stand, how can I fight for you?
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
They point and stare, say "King Creed, look at your life"
Nothing good will come from it, cut by the knife
Rejected by society, cast out by the crowd
Disliked by family, head hanging in the shroud
But I got a few loyal friends standing by the gate
Nature, tell me why, why do you decide my fate?
God, You know me better, You see the hidden core
I want to do more, but the sin is at my door
Forgive me, Lord, for I have fallen deep
I'm just a soldier in a battlefield, trying to keep
My sanity intact while enemies are fast approaching
In this war of shadows, my spirit is encroaching
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
King Creed, can you hear the silence?
It's louder than the battle, louder than the violence
You, you are the architect of your own lonely cell
Trying to climb to heaven, but you're sliding into hell
But hold on, hold on, the breath is still here
Let the morning light wash away the fear
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
I'm standing in the field with no bullets left
Just a man, just a heart, in this quiet bereft
King Creed...
Just a soldier...
Waiting for the dawn.
