WEEK 55: TRAGEDY & LYRICAL - STAND MY GROUND

Holy crap, I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about this, I've been super busy. Anyway, here's Week 55 - I'll probably extend it so you guys can get your entries in.

TRAGEDY
For this theme, you must depict something sad or tragic. This theme is pretty much open to interpretation - it can be a solemn person or a person with a bad past, as long as there's something depressing involved.

LYRICAL - STAND MY GROUND
If you choose to do this theme, your icon must use at least 3 consecutive words from the song "Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation.


I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right ?

Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape now
once it sets it's eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground

It's all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world

I can feel
that it's time for me to face it
can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won't run, there's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground
