An Emergent Fight To The Death lyrics

It has been said that I save lives

And therefore must be a hero

But it's only an intercession

That brings our lives in contact

That fate brings on injury, or illness

And allows a man to intercede

In changing destiny, in mortality

But it is unkind too

Bringing death at times and humility

So then pride is controlled

And a mortal man must bend

To the reality of the fates

Sometimes in the face of complete resolve

To lengthen the time by his hands

And steal time from the inevitable

The shadow that is disability and death

That always looms nearby

To gather without prejudice

And give no reply or reason

Neither fair nor foul
