What It Takes

A promise that they couldn't live out;
Chips down, consumed by doubt.
Disowned and ditched what served them well,
Now they swim to the shores of hell.
Weaker people dropped like flies,
Selling out to a life of lies.
They didn't have what it takes:
Commitment--to a greater goal;
Strength--to remain true;
Tenacity--to hold on when it's tough;
Perseverance--to make it through.
A promise that you couldn't live out;
Chips down, consumed by doubt.
Weaker brother dropped like a fly,
Sellling out to a life of lies.
You didn't have what it takes...
Until the end my heart will be true.
Until the end--together, me and you.
Together we'll make it through;
Together--if we try to.
