Hero.

I'm gonna fight for what's right

Today I'm speaking my mind

And if it kills me tonight

(I will be ready to die)

A hero's not afraid to give his life

~Hero by Skillet

_________________________________________________________________________________
The world needs your Strength.
The world needs your Courage.
The world needs you to be a 'Hero.'

Our world already has far too many 'Villains.' Our world already has too many people who are content to just watch Injustices and Wrongs be perpetrated against others and do absolutely nothing about it. Come to think of it....that's a pretty good definition of what a 'Villain' really is in my book. (http://chivalrynow.createforumhosting.com/be-your-own-hero-revisited-t2815.html#p19136)

Maybe we never chose to be heroes.

Maybe we never wanted to be one.

Maybe we were picked for that very reason.

Cause we know what it feels like to be down and out.

Cause we know what it's like.

And people need to know that we know.

If they follow you...if they trust you...then lead them well and be the example for them to learn from.

The will never learn any other way.

They've got to see you live it.

There is no other way.

You want to save them.

So learn how to save yourself first...

everything's a lesson. So live, learn, and then, maybe you can save them.

It's all i've got.

If they trust you...don't break theirs like i broke yours.

The songs of the night...

In time we'll see the past unwind,

Alive, still wandering our fallen land,

One more time we stare into the blackened sky,

For tonight, in our hearts now we feel,

One last time see our destiny revealed.

...

Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home.

~Last Journey Home by Dragonforce

When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons

Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky

When you’re drawn to the ground by the dragons

Would you raise up your head, would you cry

And all the wicked prisons that they built inside your mind

...

But you’re stronger than they are

~Dragons by Stratovarius

I never really cared until I opened my eyes.

The final day awaits, and the firestorm's getting closer

Under falling stars we will seal our fate for eternity.

...

I hold my breath and wait 'til the end

~Unbreakable by Stratovarius

Time goes by

But you can't rest

Too many things

And you're obsessed

Trying to find

Some sense to it all

No-one knows what you've been through

Like no-one cares

But it's not true

Turn the page

And make a fresh start

When you are low

You should know

You are not the only lonely soul

And you will find

The strength inside

There is no more need to hide

Just carry on

Fullfill your dreams

Don't let them try to pull you down

So carry on

Don't give up

March on till the end

The road is long but you'll reach the final bend

~Just Carry On by Stratovarious

Finals

This is a fun, and rather nice metalized version of the theme from Braveheart. I've been...listening to it a lot, lately. It's nice.




Hello everyone,

So, I've got finals coming up in the next few weeks and they will mark the end of my first year in college.

Wish me luck!

Ode to the broken

Ode to the Broken


To all the hurting, broken souls out there,
To all the men and women fair,
And all the children who are drowning in despair,
I want you to know that you're not alone.
We hear you moan,
And when you groan,
Cry and scream,
And know how fitfully you dream.

We're here for you,
To see you through,
From dark to light,
We stand and fight,
By your side,
Until the battle's tide,
Has turned for the best.
So, till then, we shall not rest.

Your pain so real,
So sharp, we feel,
Like a blade to the back,
To us, it's a personal attack.
It cuts us to the core,
And drives us to fight the injustice forever more.

We are men, and boys,
Girls with poise,
Women with strength,
And all who go to such great length,
To know you're safe,  happy, and well.

Your names, we know not,
But with our souls, we have bought,
The chance to bring you home again,
So that then,
You may tell the tale,
From here to Yale,
That hope is not yet lost,
That even freedom has it's cost!

The price was paid in blood, word and deed,
By men, women, and children who heed,
The meaning of an old Code,
Whose great mystery sowed
In their head and in their heart,
The seeds of a brand new start.

Chivalry is not dead!
It lives here, and there, and in your head!
As long as we remember, live, and breathe,
There still exists the chance to believe,
In good things, people, and fate;
In light against darkness and destructive hate.

So when you look for that deadly pill,
The razor that sits on the sill,
And when your eyes fill with tears, sadness, and grief,
May this poem and ode, fill you with belief,
That somewhere,
Out there,
People. Still. Care.

So don't you dare,
Give up just yet.
Don't be so upset.
Things can change,
And when they do,
You'll be glad that you're the one who,
Is still alive to see the dawn of that new day,
And are still able to say,
Life's not so bad,
But you've got to understand that Life's a mix of things, both happy and sad.

We're here for you.

Look for us.

We're Knights of the heart and mind.

We live to serve the people of the world.

To speak true words.

To protect the weak from those who'd abuse them.

To give to those who have less than we, even if all we have is our smile to offer them.

We are not so lost from time as books may suggest.

We are the ones who hold the door,
And give to the poor.

We speak out against the tyranny of the world.

We chose to live with nothing more than the belief that doing good for its own sake is reward enough for us.

To respect men and women, as partners, as equally capable members of society.

To reach out to any and all who lose hope, who need to smile, who are hungry, abused, and used.

We are here for you.

All you need to do is believe.

And if you ever need a little help...

Look for us. We're here to help you.

Fight for your life.

You gotta fight

Fight for your life

Until you die

Fight for your life

(2:04 is where you should start listening)

>sigh

I gotta fight. Fight for my life. Until I die. I gotta fight for my life.

Why is it so easy for her to flip that little switch that makes my day from good to bad? Why do I love them so darn much that I let myself suffer like this?

Mom. Please...Stop.

I swear...one day i'll just lose it...i'll let it out and yell at you telling you how you and dad's words cut me so deep i've slipped into depression and had suicidal thoughts last winter...that the pain and damage i've taken prompted me to actually talk to a psychologist for weeks...that i might go back to her next week cause you just shook me up again...jiggled the arrow in my heart enough to make me gasp, but i am still breathing...still fighting the monster inside.

I'm still here, mother. But one day I won't be. What then? Will you still play these games? Will you still think this so important? Or will you miss me for who i really was?

Think on it. Cause i'm more than you know, mother. I'm more than what you see.

I'm still fighting.
