Advantage Taken
All of those bastards
Trying to keep a part of me
Taking away my life
I will not let it be
They cannot have me
Not even in my dreams
I can and must resist
Within, I have the means
To sustain their memory
A burden I will not carry
It is not mine to hold
Possession makes me wary
They will not have my soul
Not ever allowed to win
My life belongs to me
And here, it shall begin
Trying to keep a part of me
Taking away my life
I will not let it be
They cannot have me
Not even in my dreams
I can and must resist
Within, I have the means
To sustain their memory
A burden I will not carry
It is not mine to hold
Possession makes me wary
They will not have my soul
Not ever allowed to win
My life belongs to me
And here, it shall begin

'And here it shall begin'
Indeed, it shall. We own it, keep it close.
Much enjoyed...
