Does one simply dance with the devil out of spite and forget about their soul

In the middle of the night does one feel this spirit screaming let's roll

Stand your ground while you're weak in the knees

To take what is yours without bothering to say please

Remember the battles won and lost

Accept your place in history despite that massive cost

Can you challenge the distractions and push thru to the end

Trying to convince the world of your way of thinking or at least to bend

I know not one of you that's afraid of the dance

Only the weak at heart scurry away like ants

Never before and never again will you be distracted by can't

    Strength of conviction, never wavering, living & standing for what you believe. But is there any room for learning, for admitting we were wrong, for grace & repentance?
