Silver dagger lightning slashed the sky
Its Crooked tongue was telling crooked lies
Blood flowed down in a bitter driving rain
As I stand upon the sand I feel the pain
Savage ocean pounded patient shore
Like a jealous lover trying to feel secure
But the sand withstands it don't admit defeat
And on the turning tide
The angry waves retreat
I won't go down
I won't go down
I won't go do-o-wn
Demon wind was howling threats and hate
It's salty spray was spitting in my face
Without something firm to stand upon
I'd be here one minute and the next be gone
I won't go down
I won't go down
I won't go do-o-wn
Storm as big as a mountain range
Coming down - heavy, strange
I perish Lord you know I will
A voice it whispers
"Peace, be still"
The dying sun was all but laid to rest
But for the remnant of
Some gunfight in the west
Goodbye's never easy don't I know
But these fingernails are finally letting go
I won't go down
I won't go down
I won't go do-o-wn
Without a fight
Fading distant fireworks display
Is growing silent as the fury rolls away
Shooting stars are dancing up on high
They ask me
"May I have this dance before we die?"
I won't go down
I won't go down
I won't go do-o-wn
Without a fight
