I would not die in that place.

The earth took all I gave
'til I gave it no more.
No more love, no more peace, no more acceptance.
Only blood.

The blood of my failure
The blood of my disappointments
The blood of the beast of my wasted days.

I poured it out 'til the sand was red and ruined.

In those days I did not fear.
Knowing the black night must yield to my victory.
The arch of my sword - a symphony of triumph.

No, I knew no fear - only the sword.

I fought that life - that way - that false destiny.
I fought 'til it yielded my dreams and my promises
My hopes and my future happiness.

Then sword in hand -

I turned and set out to conquer once again

Nope, you didn't miss a thing.  I did!  The last word...
