They told you not to stand out

That the best way to get by was to blend in,

To disappear

They said don't bother to try,

You'll only fail

They said, they said, they said

They told you to fall

To give up

To embrace the darkness

Because the light never won

But they were wrong

Because you kept going

Because you read the forbidden words, 

Because you practiced your fighting

And your blade grew strong

So when they fought you,

You won

What happens now?

You are free

Who can you count on?

Anyone you want to trust

How does this work?

You go

You discover

You live, however you want, whenever you want

Because they said nothing could break the darkness, but they were wrong

And you outshone them all
