Before Dishonor - Hatebreed

What makes you think everything in this world that you have can be taken away?
In a world this day, it's kill or be killed.
I live each day like it might be my last.
In this lifetime few things are worth fighting for.
My blood. Your honor. Everyone has a destiny.
I'll choose my own. 

I will not be a victim.
I'll choose my own.
My cries won't go unheard.
I'll choose my own.
I got to fight for myself.
I'll choose my own.
Of what I hold so true.

I'll choose my own destiny and I'll never let anyone take away what I hold so true.
I won't live in denial.
And I won't turn the other cheek.
I must remain convicted and never accept this suffering.
I've learned from my mistakes and I've made a promise to myself.
I won't live in the past.
I won't live in the past.

I've been affected by your lies and I've let then hold me back.
I wasn't thinking for myself.
I wasn't living for myself.

I will not be a victim.
I'll choose my own.
My cries won't go unheard.
I'll choose my own.
I got to fight for myself.
I'll choose my own.
Of what I hold so true.

What I have in my heart, I'll take to my grave.
