“When you are no longer compelled by desire or fear…When you have seen the radiance of eternity in all the forms of time…When you follow your bliss…doors will open where you would not have thought there were doors…and the world will step in and help”

Reignite

Hope can drown lost in thunderous sound
Fear can claim what little faith remains

But I carry strength from souls now gone
They won’t let me give in…

I will never surrender
We’ll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite…
I will reignite

Death will take those who fight alone
But united we can break a fate once set in stone

Just hold the line until the end
Cause we will give them hell…

I will never surrender
We’ll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite…
I will reignite.
