This lifeless soil
Barren of good thoughts
Scorched by grudge and grief
Doomed to linger on
Wandered aimlessly
Blinded by their lies
Now I raise my head and sword
When shadows steal the light

Fire, desire, denial
Burning, yearning, discerning
Fire, desire, denial
I'm my heart
Burning, yearning, discerning
I see it now

You call it cruelty
I call it strength
I am cursed to be
A one man army
You call me inhumane
I call this life regained
I am blessed to be
A one man army

I will take the lives of many enemies
Yet still this battle feels like a defeat to me
Death or victory, only emptiness I feel
The spring of hope runs dry
Because I'm already dead inside
I will take the lives of many enemies
Yet still this battle feels like a defeat to me

Defeat to me!
Fire, desire, denial
Burning, yearning, discerning
Fire, desire, denial
I'm my heart
Burning, yearning, discerning
I see it now

You call it cruelty
I call it strength
I am blessed to be
A one man army
You call me inhumane
I call this life regained
I am blessed to be
A one man army
One man army!
