Blood for freedom

You're pushing me into the corner
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me
I'm crowning no man for his armour or Rhapsody
For what I see and what I feel

Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within; we all know

Blood for freedom

So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence; no remorse
Won't die within

Raise your banner; won't you come
Fight the venom; the good die, young
Won't die within

I'm feeling the eyes of the fallen; they're watching me
They make me see; they make me see
I'm feeling the pain how you break them and make them bleed
You make them bleed; you make them bleed

Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within; we all know

The way that you torment me
The way that you challenge me
The way that you make me bleed

Blood for freedom

So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence; no remorse
Won't die within

Raise your banner; won't you come
Fight the venom; the good die, young
Won't die within

Blood for freedom

So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence; no remorse
Won't die within

Raise your banner; won't you come
Fight the venom; the good die, young
Won't die within

When Gods are failing
They put all heaven in a rage
We're on our own

Our tears keep falling
They're setting fire to the flame
Blood for freedom

-CLARICE-

The flare goes up, and I'm fucking devastated. Did anyone know how to contact his wife? With a heavy sigh, Jason hits the detonator, the cocoons alight with flames, and the vampires shriek in pain and fury. Still, we don't move. We wait. As we should. Merwin would wait for us.

"Come on, buddy," Jason murmured as he searched through the scorched vampires below. "Lemme hear your voice."

"Answer me, dammit!" Joey swore as he tried his radio.

We were met with dead silence, aside from the fire and the sounds of burning vampires.

"Joey..." I sighed. "I'm so sorry..."
