Without a Fight

I will not go down without a fight
I will not sleep tonight
I am not a candle to blow me out
I will kick, scream and shout
I will not lay rest my soul
I will not help drill a six feet hole
This is my promise to you
on this lonely, starless night
I will not go down without a fight

If I whisper a prayer
will it reach you
even when it doesn't spill out of my heart
Will you hear my voice
and understand
my strength is my greatest weakness
Will you answer them
or pose another question
to confirm my hatred
which you instilled
is my fate my boon tonight?
