What They Took
Saw that I was smiling
Then turned their backs on me so cold
Now my laughter's dying
Never again will I be whole
Saw the shine in my eyes
They took the stars out the sky
Saw the hand that I was holding
Had to tell him too, "good-bye"
Wish the terror would end
Wish their reign would die
So the tears may be wiped
From these puffy swollen eyes
Because my deeds won't be honored
Never written in a book
Never told to awed listeners
Because my life is what they took
Saw the people that I laughed with
Shoved all their warmth away
Saw the life I had outside
Now here forever I will stay
Because I know they want to break me
See me lay down and die
Throw my dreams and hopes away
And my hands up to the sky
But I won't give in so easily
For my will is my way
Live for what I can
Take everything day by day
Until the terror will end
Until their reign will die
So the tears may be wiped
From these puffy swollen eyes
For my deeds deserve to be honored
Written down in every book
Told to incredibly awde listeners
About how I gained back what they took
