I'm the one who's struggling In a world gone mad I suffocate in the ocean air Just to call this place my home It took no time at all to cast away this place The sorrow in my heart is sinking fast everyday It's only one night away I can hear my fate chasing after me And in the final fight, when no one's around I feed the fire that burns inside And take what's rightfully mine Take what's rightfully mine away These days don't separate I've seen them come and go I've torn the pages from past And turned my back on what I know It took no time at all to cast away this place The sorrow in my heart is sinking fast everyday It's only one night away I can hear my fate chasing after me And in the final fight, when no one's around I feed the fire that burns inside And take what's rightfully mine It's only one night away And the darkness takes it's toll on me And in the final fight, when no one's around I feed the fire that burns inside And take what's rightfully mine Take what's rightfully mine away
