Where fear ends

I've felt the deadly grip of compromise
And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes
Surrender perseverance doesn't recognize
And with the light of each new day I'll find my way
Beneath the pulsing beat of neon heat and city streets
Or on a mountain side under moonlit sky with stars on high
The answer lies not so much in where you are
But destination and what you'll find
Into the fire some would throw their lives
And hope that with security and fear subsides
Dreams and ambitions they would choose to hide
A disregarded spirit leaves them empty inside
Inside of every man a master plan the high command
Truth to one's self is shelter from the storm and keeps the sin unborn
The greatest truth I've ever known has been where truth begins where fear ends
How sad a man could lose his destiny to the powers that be in this world
For just outside this lifetime is a higher call stand or fall

Victory is more than just security
Affluency has no jurisdiction over death
Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down
But offers to the cause his every breath

I've felt the deadly grip of compromise
And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes
Surrender perserverence doesn't recognize
And with the light of each new day I'll find my way
I've seen the empty eyes, believing lies hypnotized
I stand uncompromised and await the new sunrise
The greatest truth I've ever known has been
where truth begins is where fear ends

Victory is more than just security
Affluency has no jurisdiction over death
Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down
But offers to the cause his every breath
