Armageddon Through Your Speakers

The song "An Ounce of Will" by Wayne Mathison is a powerful anthem about resilience, inner strength, and the transformative power of determination. Using a blend of psychedelic-prog-blues musical styles, it portrays the struggle against adversity—symbolized by mountains, storms, and heavy chains—as a test of willpower. The recurring motif of "an ounce of will" represents the small but critical measure of resolve needed to overcome challenges, turn scars into strength, and rise above defeat. The lyrics emphasize personal agency, with the narrator refusing to yield to fear or external pressures, instead choosing to forge their path through pain and perseverance. The imagery of fire, climbing, and breaking through night underscores a journey of self-empowerment and the enduring impact of steadfast courage.

An Ounce of Will

Feed

[Verse 1]
Am I doing enough? I swore I’d save them.
But their hands keep slipping, they don’t even save themselves.
What’s the point of fighting if the scars stay mine?
I stand in the silence, holding the line.

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it easy, you call it fate —
But I’m the one who carries all the weight.

[Chorus]
This is who I am — THIS IS WHO I AM!
You don’t know me, don’t pretend you do.
This is where I stand — THIS IS WHERE I STAND!
You can try, but you don’t know anything about the truth.

[Verse 2]
You burn like sunlight, reckless, free.
Your kindness cuts, it reminds me of her.
I choke on anger, but your voice pulls me back.
I hate it, I need it — that’s the fact.

[Pre-Chorus]
You give it all, I take the fall.
I keep the loss so someone else can stand tall.

[Chorus]
This is who I am — THIS IS WHO I AM!
You don’t know me, don’t pretend you do.
This is where I stand — THIS IS WHERE I STAND!
You can try, but you don’t know anything about the truth.

[Bridge]
Fate’s got a cruel joke — stole the light, left the blame.
If justice walks blind, I’ll be the flame.

[Final Chorus]
This is who I am — THIS IS WHO I AM!
You don’t know me, don’t pretend you do.
This is where I stand — THIS IS WHERE I STAND!
You can try, but you don’t know anything about the truth.

[Outro]
You should be here, not me —
But I remain.
The beat of your heart,
Unwavering.
