You can never truly appreciate what's good in life until you have experienced what's bad.

We live in a world full of hate

Destruction and deception

Where chaos is in order

And the unperfected is perfect

Monsters roam free

Praying on the weak minded


In order to survive you must have a strong heart

Or become a monster yourself

Defend what’s yours

Or take what you want


Nothing comes easy

Everyday is a battle for survival

We must find the strength within

And rise above all that pulls us down


Never live with regret

Go headstrong or head home
