Like an outcast pariah

 A soul without a shelter

 All my youth I struggled with rage

 And though it would never end

 From within the darkness that clouded me

 I saw a shimmer that lit up the skies

 And for the very first time I knew

 That my life had meaning

 I walk into a new dawn

 As the darkness divides

 And reveals an all new light

 That blinds me and makes me alive

 There's no more room for hate

 No room for selfish pride

 Flowing with vitriol no more

 I stand here with my soul bare before you

 Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

 To rise and fall for you

 I am the armor to protect

 I am the salve to heal

 This lonely, battered soul, seeking peaceful haven

 Scarred and burnt for life, please let me stay for a while

 There's no more I

 No room for selfish me

 Just the patron's vigour

 And a promise to keep

 There's no more room for hate

 Farewell to tortured spite

 I cannot find myself lost in rancour

 No more

 I stand here with my soul bare before you

 Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

 To rise and fall for you

 I am the armor to protect

 I am the salve to heal

 This lonely, battered soul, seeking peaceful haven

 Scarred and burnt for life, please let me stay for a while

 I... I stand here with my soul bare before you

 Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

 To rise and fall for you

 I am the armor to protect

 I stand here with my soul bare before you

 Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

 To rise and fall for you

 I am the armor to protect

 I am the salve to heal
