Battling Souls

Don't give in, just give up on this fight,
Just hold on, another lonely night,
Just forget, and leave your soul to ignite,
Don't fall down, cause you know this is right.

You'll hold on, despite the pain you feel,
You'll forget, cause none of this is real,
Time will help, for the wounds to heal,
You didn't know, it was part of the deal.

So hold on, I know the night is cold,
Stand your ground, this fight is getting old,
Time to fight, you gotta break thier hold,
Don't listen, you won't do what you're told.
