Before Dishonor

What makes you think everything is this world
That you have can't be taken away?
In a world enslaved, it's kill or be killed
I live each day like it might be my last

In this lifetime few things
Are worth fighting for
My blood, your honor
Everyone has a destiny

I'll choose my own
I will not be a victim
I'll choose my own
My cries won't go unheard

I'll choose my own
I got to fight for myself
I'll choose my own
And what I hold so true

Destiny, I'll choose my own destiny
And I'll never let
Anyone take away
What I hold so true

I won't live in denial
And I won't turn the other cheek
I must remain convicted
And never accept this suffering

I've learned from my mistakes
And I've made a promise to myself
I won't live in the past
I won't live in the past

I've been affected by your lies
And I've let then hold me back
I wasn't thinking for myself
I wasn't living for myself

I will not be a victim
I'll choose my own
My cries won't go unheard
I'll choose my own

I've got to fight for myself
I'll choose my own
And what I hold so true

What I have in my heart
What I have in my heart
I'll take to my grave
I'll take to my grave
