Cowardice is the perceived failure to demonstrate sufficient mental robustness and courage in the face of a challenge. Under many military codes of justice, cowardice in the face of combat is a crime punishable by death (cf. shot at dawn). The term describes a personality trait which is viewed as a negative characteristic and has been shunned and disdained (see norms) within most, if not all cultures, while courage, typically viewed as its direct opposite, is generally rewarded and encouraged.
Cowards are usually seen to have avoided or refused to engage in a confrontation or struggle which has been deemed good or righteous by the wider culture in which they live. On a more mundane level, the label may be applied to those who are regarded as too frightened or overwhelmed to defend their rights or those of others from aggressors in their lives.
Acts of cowardice have long been punishable by military law, which defines a wide range of cowardly offenses including desertion in face of the enemy and surrendering to the enemy against orders. The punishment for such acts is typically severe, ranging from corporal punishment to the death sentence. Cowardly conduct is specifically mentioned within the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Coward
Listen up you bastard, I'm on to your game
This is the last time that I will speak your name
You always put yourself first, and thought of nobody else
She always gave you everything, got nothing for herself
(Chorus)
Prey on the weakness, taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness, I will never forget
There is no way that you can hide
I will not be denied
I will deliver pain
When our two worlds collide
Did you think for a second, that I got nothing to say
You better sit your ass down, so I can ruin your day
You've cheated for the last time, and now it's come to a halt
Repent for your transgressions, and admit it's all your fault
(repeat chorus)
Coward, blind man, look at me when I'm talking to you
Coward, blind man, can't you see, your time is through
Listen up you bastard, we're on to your game
Before the day is over, you will remember my name
She don't need your bullshit, and we don't need your lies
Bastard you want to die*
Your contemplating suicide
Coward you can't commit
Take control go through with it
Mother tell you son
He's gone too far what's done is done
It's too late to turn back now
The time has come just do it
Dying
Crucify me
Riding on the edge of sanity
Nothing left inside me
Believing
Death will set my mind at ease
Denying
Then I'm lying
Rotting to the core
Your living on the edge
You've played the game now it's time to end
The suffering
You're so sick inside
No one knows the tears you've cried
Feeling you want to die
The only way out is suicide
If there only was a way
To take your life and fade away

I am disgusted to worthless fucking every day,
I am requesting, the life to be stimulus.
Something's in my mind,
I'm understanding that I'm not crazy,
My condition is good,
It's a non-existence as a nightmare.
He always says to me that I should be the one whom I want
If you don't do it now, there is not much time.
I am coward shit,
Cause I'm always staying in safe,
He always says to me that I should be the one whom I want,
And that I can't spend a proper life.

Drying Stains Spell things in words uneasily
In crowded pens
A drying mouth's final
Hiss of growing limbs
Faster than the skin
The arrows pointing to the thunder of the tanks in vacant
lots
Down dark pathways
Special paintings line the wall
The ghastly glow of broken saints
The cheeks of working flames burn blue
And spit out words see what we've done we stayed up all
this life for you and now you owe this much for good
Here on your shoulders till we're
When at first it's all in fun once
White's misshapen eyes glued shut then
In Words
In Pens
In Limbs faster than the skin
Sick limp of Tin on Tongue shoulders pushing through
Cut line In Waves of Blue hiss of growing limbs live ice
In reams of tin
All in Crowded Pens
For all the time
I told you how much I need you
For all the time
I made you believe my lies
For all the time
I tried to ignore my ego
And live this life
I don’t want to:
I truly apologize
I’ll never be what you really need
I’m a coward without courage
So don’t cry cause I’m not worth it
I’ll never be your true destiny
There is someone waiting for you
Who will comfort and adore you
That’s not something I have in me…
For all the time
We made plans for the future
For all the time
I promised to be true
For all the time
I was nothing but an intruder
In your pure life, I have messed up
I’m sorry for hurting you
I’ll never be what you really need
I’m a coward without courage
So don’t cry cause I’m not worth it
I’ll never be your true destiny
There is someone waiting for you
Who will comfort and adore you
That’s not something I have in me…
I wish I could make you fly to heaven
And forget about me
Erase history
Then maybe a miracle could happen
And I’d become a better man
The kind of warm and tender man
I will never be
I’ll never be what you really need
There is someone waiting for you
Who will comfort and adore you
I blame myself for never saying anything
You`re dead to me but I`m the fool who still believes
That one day you`ll actually see that you missed out on everything
My innocence you devoured you fucking coward
I`m finding faith in myself tonight and finally I got it right
I must forgive you to move on
It`s my only choice cause you`ll never come
To fill up all the cracks in this foundation
All the fear all the panic and shame
I`m afraid I`ll be like you one day
Id love to hear the things you tell yourself to pass the blame
Your own daughter barely knows your face
You set the fire and then walked away
leaving everyone to clean that mess that you had made
Everything you passed down to me
The stiff right hand this fucking disease
What do I get for being your son
Nothing
I`m finding faith in myself tonight
and finally I got it right
I must forgive you to move on
Its my only choice cause you`ll never come
To fill up the cracks in this foundation
Jesus Christ look what you`ve done
Abandoning everyone that you should love
You fucking failed me
All that I have left is a choice to forgive or forget
Hold you`re hand to the fire
So you slick at a cheap edge
You're in trouble with the chain snatch
Lord knows what I'd like to do to you
Put your fucking head in the sand
And I'll be waiting here for you
Run away, run away
Coward
Run away, run away
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
Coward
Been running games, it's the last net
Soon, you'll be amazed, it's your last breath
Don't know what to say
Won't know what to do, your time's gone
Your fucking heads are out of the sand
And guess who's waiting there for you
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Coward
Run away, run away
Coward
Run away, run away
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Coward
Run away, run away
Coward
Run away, run away
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
Point the fucking gun at my head
I don't know what to do with it
But I know what I should do with it now
All i ever dreamt of
Im too coward to ask for
I hate when people just wont do
What they really want to do
But im just the same
We're all trapped
By our own fears
The way out
Can be so easy
The quest for a better life
It lies in our hands
We cant deny reality
You we're independent
But i guess we are not
We're being held back by society
Coward, gutless child
Coward, gutless child
Coward, gutless child
Coward, gutless excuse for a man
Too many times I've watched you raise your hand against my family
Too many hours hiding in my closet praying for the strength to do something
To put an end to this
Woman why are you still there?
The fear of leaving should not outweigh the fear of staying
You don't deserve this
My diamond in the rough
You deserve the world my diamond in the rough
Don't let anyone tell you different
Don't let anyone ever tell you different
I will never understand what she saw in you
All the pain and suffering you put this family through
You are nothing to me but a gutless child, you're nothing to me
Woman why are you still there?
The fear of leaving should not outweigh the fear of staying
You don't deserve this
My diamond in the rough
Show me a man who abuses the bottle
I'll show you a broken family
You don't have to put up with this, there is a way out
There is always a way out
There is always a way out
Coward
Why are you frightened?
So quiet
I can barely hear your lies
Coward
Was it too hard for you
To simply tell the truth?
You are despised
Coward
Your mask is fading
Your weakness showing
Your fatal flaw
Coward
Do your thoughts haunt you
In silent darkness
Before your fall?
The cracks in you are starting to show
You will break before you bend
Get ready for your all time low
You will get yours in the end
Coward
Why are you crying?
So you feel empty
For what you've done?
Coward
Do your pills help you
To see more clearly
What you've become?
The cracks in you are starting to show
You will break before you bend
Get ready for your all time low
You will get yours in the end
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Coward
You cannot break me
For through your weakness
I grow strong
Coward
You can never win
Because in the end
You know you're wrong
The cracks in you are starting to show
You will break before you bend
Get ready for your all time low
You may find
That my appetite gets it's way
It keeps growing and growing
Before you know it
I'm a beast swallowing prey
And it is clear
It is clear
It's as clear as a fucking bell
The more I wear off on you,
The more I seem to wear your smell
C'mon
Get away and save yourself
Turn away and don't look back
Get away and save yourself
Grey skies are turning black
'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you
You will see
That there's a blood clot in my heart
I'm trying to make time to push it out
But I can't quite seem to start
And it is sore
It is sore
It's so sore that it hurts to feed
You keep taking little pieces of me,
I'm going to show you how to bleed
C'mon
Get away and save yourself
Turn away and don't look back
Get away and save yourself
Grey skies are turning black
'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you
I think I'll keep you
In a place where I can see you
But I know I'll break you like before
And I just can't do this anymore
'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you
You were praying for your recognition
Wanted to conquer your freedom
Now abandon your cowardice
And fuck up your sanctity
Reluctant to valor flail your failure
Tear of your bond the chains of oppression
Just live free you wanted it to be
Take the imminent punishment and throw it far away
Terrified you're watching your approach to death
Justified is the punishment you'll receive before your
last breath
You're one with the vile flock
I'm pissing on you
Now abandon all your hope for your sanctification
You will never be holy
Death will find you anyway
You will never see your god
Don't throw your life away
Don't follow this fucking flock
Of fucked up cowards
Believing in a book of lies will never make you holy
You will never find what you search when you look out
Feel no cold, feel no pain, cry out - never hear
Sitting in the corner
Staring at the wall
Rosy dreams forgotten
What was right turned wrong
Hiding from reality
All emotions gone
Chorus:
Coward!
Fucking coward!
You are lost. No friends. Hard to make them care...
Thought you were clever
Laughed at all the rest
Listened to the others
Making a pretence
Lived from peoples charity
Never even guessed
Chorus:
Coward!
Fucking coward!
You are stuck! Just stuck!
Can't move on
No escape. No return.
Visions of the past
Fighting back
Agonize in your head
Apathetic smile
Will depressed
Fear to life, fear of death
Tear apart your soul
You don't mind
If you live or you die
Feel frustration.
Time will pass, you know
What I mean
That is life - sink or swim
Painful memories
Fade away
Leaving shadows on your face
Your hesitance drives
You to hide away
Forget about what could have been
Your living in solitude
Forsaken all that you have grown to love
Refused it to become someone
No free trips here for cowards
Ignorance is just one of your downfalls
Go ahead now run away
Lie to me
Everytime I see your face reminds me that your lifes been wasted
Lie to me
Turn your back on all your dreams and live your life spit on by me
Fucking Coward
Your kind makes me sick
Lifeless running thin
I pity you and all that you think you are representing
Screw all of this
I'm not wasting my time
You'll never get shit
on your own
See how far you get
I can tell you right now
You wont get very far
Fucking Coward
Lie to me
Every time I see your face reminds me that your lifes been wasted
Lie to me
Turn your back on all your dreams and live your life spit on by me
Oh dear mother why did you give me a birth
I didn't ask to be born
Oh dear father can't you see what you've done
I'm not the one you wanted me to become
A coward I am and a good-for-nothing
Still I can walk over you
When my head is down and I'm in distress
Moonshine is my gentle mistress
A drunkard I am and a yokel, too
Still I can walk over you
My hand is poor and I have to bluff
But cheating to win is not even enough
Walking alone, testing the water
Hiding skeletons in my closet
A coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger
What the hell
I feel no shame
What the hell
I feel no shame
So dear mother why did you give me a birth
I didn't ask to be born
So dear father can't you see what you've done
I'm not the one you wanted me to become
Walking alone, testing the water
Hiding skeletons in my closet
