To fight losing battle nail and tooth?

His battle cry,
To signal yet another bout;
I see again my blood will be spilled,
This vision is fact not fear,
And my resolve it has...

And your aspirations cruelly mistreat,
The path of destiny remains beneath your feet;

The smell of dinner on the evening breeze,

The brush of fingertips,
A bright morning sky,
The open road laying before you;
May heaven truly...
