I’ve been taking some time to be distant

Hi Ren...
I've been taking some time to be distant
I've been taking some time to be still
I've been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill
But just as sure as the tide starts turning
Just as sure as the night has dawn
Just as sure as the rain fall soon runs dry when you stand in the eye of the storm

I was made to be tested and twisted
I was made to be broken and beat
I was made by his hand, it's all part of his plan that I stand on my own two feet
And you know me, my will is eternal
And you know me, you've met me before
Face to face with a beast I will rise from the east and I'll settle on the ocean floor
And I go by many names also
Some people know me as hope
Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope
And you know how I know that I'll prosper?
'Cause I stand here beside you today
I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain
And I didn't once flinch or shake
So cower at the man I've become
When I sing from the top of my lungs
That I won't retire, I'll stand in your fire, inspire the meek to be strong
And when I am gone I will rise
In the music that I left behind
Ferocious persistent, immortal like you
We're a coin with two different sides
