Defying Injustice

THERKLA
Miko - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

MIKO
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would throw what's right to the wind
Just to leave your past behind

BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

THERKLA
Miko, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
You can still have a family
What you've prayed and waited for
You can have a family again

MIKO
I know:
But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:

Something has grown within me
There's now a burning thirst
For justice and righteousness
And felling the worst

The time has finally come
To choose what's wrong or what's right
It's time to trust my instincts
Take my sword: and fight!

It's time to try
Defying injustice
I think I'll try
Defying injustice
And evil shall tremble!

THERKLA
Can't I make you understand?
You're choosing a life of suffering

MIKO
I'm through accepting evil
'cause it's "easier that way"
This sinful world I'll change
And turn night into day

Too long it has flourished
Preying upon the weak
Well, mark my words
With me, this world won't stay so bleak

It'd sooner die
Defying injustice
Kiss me goodbye
Defying injustice
And evil shall tremble!

THERKLA
Miko, come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

Unstoppable
Together we're unstoppable
We will be the greatest paladins
There's ever been
Miko -
The world will be our toy
Royalty we'll destroy

There's no man we can't take down
Just you and I
Defying all those fools
With you and I
Defying all those fools

They'll never bring us down!
Well? Are you coming?

MIKO
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

THERKLA
You too
I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

MIKO
So if you care to find me
Seek the bringer of light!
This I promise solemly:
All innocents I'll free from fright!

And if I'm fighting solo
At least I'm saving lives
To those who'd face me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am
Defying injustice
I'm standing proud
Defying injustice

And soon I'll match it sword for sin
And no one in the Lower Planes
Not even those who hold the reins
Is ever gonna have my skin!
