Let me clear my throat

Let me use my voice

Let me show you what I've become

Let me agitate your fear

Let me arouse your hate

With my voice

With my strength

I will show you how I am made

Ask me not of my motives to you

For my sword is swift

And my aim is true

My soul is cleansed

And my heart is pure

My words are sharp enough

To deal to you a wound

Ending your life would be a disservice

A mercy you do not deserve

So throw down your weapon

This is a fight you will not win

For I have found my voice

My courage has rekindled

The fire from within

Your unkindness has fueled it

Now it burns brighter and stronger

Than ever before

And I ask you one more time

Give up this fight

For it is a fight you'll never win.
