The sky is painted dark with destiny
Stars illuminate the path that's forced in front of me
My life has turned into a shattered symphony
Playing nightmare dirges that bespeak a grim reality
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tear away my freedom?
This abomination is mine to atone
How am I to blame for your atrocities?
Seeds of abhorrence are now planted inside of me
I'll cast away the shame and leave it far behind
Purify your hatred with my unrelenting love for life
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tell me how to decide?
This responsibility is mine alone
You and I are bonded together
By the blood -- we're one in the same
I'll fight for you -- be a voice for you
Although conceived through fear and hatred
I embrace you with my love and guidance
And I promise -- you will have a chance to live your life
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tell me how to decide?
This responsibility is mine alone
And I've made my decision
I choose life
