Challenger

Face down, this is the way you taught me to abide
Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch
I realized I was a whore begging for security
And such a coward, I'd never have asked to be set free

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies
And become everything I despise
If I can find a meaning to this fearful life
I'll become the enemy of mankind

What did you conjecture to arise
From the ashes of my broken self?
An obedient drone, just easy to bind?
I'm but the demon you've devised

Tremble, you bastards, I represent all that you dread
It's so futile to think you can still control me
I've nothing to lose for you have tainted everything I prized
Whatever you try, revenge is mine

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies
And become everything I despise
If I can find a meaning to this fearful life
I'll become the enemy of mankind

I shall wipe this burden out
Victorious, I will stand
Above the mundane shame
You've forcefully trained me in

I'll concede nothing
And never forget all your deeds of cruelty
Retribution is on the way
Turning the war you've started into pure defeat

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies
And become everything I despise
If I can find a meaning to this fearful life
I'll become the enemy of mankind
