There's a poison in the air
All the hatred and despair
But I chose my path
Yeah, I chose my path
I know (I know)
The protector of the land
I was born to take a stand
Yeah, I chose my path
Yeah, I chose my path
For sure (For sure)

I cannot stand aside
While innocence is lost and
The closer that you get
The more you see the darkness
So back up
Cause I'm not backing down
(Ooh)

I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna steal your thunder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(What I believe in)
I'm gonna take you down
Is it really any wonder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(I believe in)

I'm gonna take you for a ride
Don't need no one by my side
But I chose my path
Yeah, I chose my path
I know (I know)
Don't underestimate a shield
I'm a weapon you can't weild
Yeah, I chose my path
Yeah, I chose my path
For sure (For sure)

I cannot stand aside
While innocence is lost and
The closer that you get
The more you see the darkness
So back up
Cause I'm not backing down
(Ooh)

I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna steal your thunder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(What I believe in)
I'm gonna take you down
Is it really any wonder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(I believe in)

(It's not about what they deserve)
(I know what I believe in)

I cannot stand aside
While innocence is lost and
The closer that you get
The more you see the darkness
So back up
Cause I'm not backing down
(Ooh)

I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna steal your thunder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(What I believe in)
I'm gonna take you down
Is it really any wonder
It's not about what they deserve
I know what I believe in
(I believe in)
