'Not Going Down'

I refuse to go quietly into that good night

Old age shall not hold my heart

Because I shall return to the fight

Warriors Pride is at stake during the flight

I will fall with a wonderful start

I refuse to go quietly into that good night

For those who cried into the light

Shall forever be forced dart

Because I shall return to the fight

Brave men face their deaths by the blinding sight

But so many will shy away from the sprit

I refuse to go quietly into that good night

So, stay here with me and the might

For nothing will ever tear us apart

Because I shall return to the fight

You, my dear friend who have fought

Those who'd laid down as cursed shall depart

I refuse to go quietly into that good night

Because I shall return to the fight
