By Sanjiv Bhatt
I have principle and no power
You have power and no principle
You being you
And I being I
Compromise is out of the question
So let the battle begin…
I have truth and no force
You have force and no truth,
You being you
And I being I
Compromise is out of the question
So let the battle begin…
You may club my skull,
I will fight
You may crush my bones
I will fight
You may bury me alive
I will fight
With truth running through me
I will fight
With every ounce of my strength
I will fight
With my last dying breath.
I will fight…
I will fight till the
Castle that you built with your lies
Comes tumbling down,
Till the devil you worshiped with your lies
Kneels down before my angel of truth.*
