Sophie Foster in Nightfall Aesthetic because we are the ones who will not go unspoken
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
“I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself.”
In this life there's no surrender.
There's nothing left for us to do--
Find the strength to see this through.
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go
War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be the labor of my love
“Dear Sir:
Regarding your article 'What's Wrong with the World?'
I am.
Yours truly,”
We are the ones who will never be broken
With our final breath
We'll fight to the death
We are soldiers, we are soldiers
“Where shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly's done, when the battle's lost and won.”
Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I am a fool
Tell me where I came from, what I will always be:
Just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school
When I am dead, I won't join their ranks
Because they are both holy and free
And I'm in Ohio, satanic and chained up
And until the end, that's how it'll be
I said make me love myself, so that I might love you
Don't make me a liar, because I swear to God
When I said it, I thought it was true
Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don't know if I count, but I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs
