Battle Scars
Hiroyuki Sawano Lyrics

We are All in together
We are united and working towards a common goal.

Call it a grudge I call it a better
I use my anger and negative experiences to push me towards improvement.

Way to Channel my burden From hurt and regret
I take my pain and use it as motivation to overcome obstacles.

I refuse to forget that I am who I am
I am proud of who I am and won't let anyone else define me.

Not a demon or man
I am my own individual and cannot be labeled by simple classifications.

But I fight to defend
I will do whatever it takes to protect myself and my loved ones.

My life and my friends The world that I'm in
The people and environment around me are important and worth fighting for.

Is the home that I know
I feel comfortable and safe where I am currently at in my life.

Even though they say I don't really fit when I glow
Others may not understand or approve of me, but I will continue to shine and be myself.

But This is My curse and my strength
My past experiences, both good and bad, have shaped me into who I am today.

Born of bad blood, but raised with the faith and hope
Although my beginnings were unfavorable, I was given love and support to help me succeed.

That I could do better Be better
I strive for self-improvement and want to be the best version of myself.

Better believe that I will never let a drop of bad blood stop me
I won't allow negativity or setbacks to hinder my progress.

From reaching my destiny ever
I am focused on achieving my goals and fulfilling my purpose in life.

Said out I'll never let a drop of bad blood stop me from reaching my destiny
I reiterate my determination to not let past experiences hold me back from my future.

I do what I do cause I've chosen my way
I make conscious decisions about my actions and the direction of my life.

Raised by a rebel Sly path's where I stay
My upbringing has led me down an unconventional and unpredictable path in life.

Never battle for blood Or take life without reason
I don't engage in violence unless absolutely necessary and only in defense of myself or others.

Trust seeing's believing
I don't take anyone's word for it and require proof before putting my trust in someone.

I am what you see Bat watch the actions
My actions speak louder than my words and define who I am.

When I unleash what's within
When I fully express myself and my capabilities, I am unstoppable.

My True heart shaped in love has the fiercest of passion
My love for others and desire to protect them drives me with unparalleled intensity.

So I grow and you grow
I am constantly evolving and progressing, as are those around me.

Still I know I don't know what my limits are
I am aware that there is always room for growth and development, and that my potential is limitless.

Cause it's always in the heat of battle Where
The most growth and development occurs when faced with challenges and adversity.

I need to show and prove
My actions must demonstrate my capabilities and resolve to others.

When it comes down to it (they wanna know) "What will you really do!"
Others are curious about my true character and how I will handle difficult situations.

So I train to stay focused Let me get loose
I work hard to maintain my focus and prepare myself for any challenge that may arise.

I step from the car Take the wheel
I take control of my life and steer it in the direction I want it to go.

I've got demons to deal with
I am faced with my own personal struggles that need to be confronted.

Unsheathe the sword Blue flames ablate Ok, let's do this
I am ready and willing to engage in battle and use all of my abilities to come out victorious.

Set em up knock em down Their's always someone to protect
I am willing to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

And I wanna move now No time to debate
I am eager to take action and carry out my plans without delay.

It's not complicated While you want me to wait
Although others may encourage me to pause or reconsider, I know that my path is straightforward and uncomplicated.

I'm ready to take the party to whoever wants it
I am prepared to take on any challenge or opponent that stands in my way.

There's too much action going on for me to lay low
I am actively involved in changes and developments in my life and cannot afford to be passive or uninvolved.

So What I want IS to be as strong as I can be
My goal is to be as capable and powerful as possible in order to achieve my goals.

Now Let me glow like a beacon of hope
I want to be an inspiration and source of hope for others.

No I'm not blind to the fact of the techniques I lack
I am aware of my weaknesses and areas of improvement.

I'm still a work in progress and We're all learning to focus
I acknowledge that I am not yet perfect and am striving to improve myself along with others.

But Don't hold me back base on my blood line
Do not discriminate against me based on my family history or genetics.

It's origin is not an oracle for my life nor my drive
My background does not dictate the direction or motivation of my life's path.

Your's choices are your's My choices are mine
I am responsible for making my own decisions in life, just as others are responsible for their own choices.

I'm choosing to Be the beat bar none
I am committed to being the best at what I do.

With friends that help keep me in line
I have a support system of friends who help me stay on track and true to myself.

We are All in together with good reason to stand
We are united and fighting for a just cause.

We want to live better Overcoming loss and fear
We aspire to improve our lives and conquer our problems and anxieties.

No time to get distracted
We cannot afford to get sidetracked from our goals and objectives.

Time is short and the enemy may have more strength at night
We need to act quickly and effectively, as our opponents may become stronger during periods of inactivity or rest.

But There is no mission abort The only path to cut is forward
We will not give up or retreat in the face of adversity - we will only move forward and overcome.

Now let's go for it It's past the point of no return
We are at a critical stage where we must act decisively and confidently to achieve our goals.

They call me Spawn of the Devil But I Don't want Gehenna
Others may view me negatively, but I don't want to succumb to a negative lifestyle or fate.

So to Hell with the Devil For my family and home
I am willing to fight against negativity and evil forces for the sake of my loved ones and community.

I'll be a defender Count me as a wild card
I will protect and support those who need it, even if it means taking unpredictable actions.

Though I am not a weapon I make my course my blessing
Although I am not inherently violent, I use my unique abilities and attributes to benefit myself and others.

To defend what's important Count me as a wild card God
I am committed to protecting and supporting what is truly valuable and worthwhile in life, even if it means taking unexpected actions.

Use my curse as a blessing
I will turn my negative experiences and traits into something positive to improve myself and others.
