Challenger Lyrics
Face down, this the way you taught me to abide
Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch
I realized I was a whore begging for security
And such a coward, I'd never have asked to be set free
Explain my why should disregard all the lies and become everything I despise
If I can't find a meaning to this fearful life, i'll become the enemy of
mankind
What did you conjecture to arise from the ashes of my broken self?
An obedient drone just easy to bind?
I'm but the demon you've devised
Tremble, you bastards, I represent all that you dread
It's so futile to think you can still control me
I've nothing to lose for you have tainted everything I prized
Whatever you try, revenge is mine
[Repeat chorus]
I shall wipe this burden out
Victorious I will stand above the mundane shame you've forcefully trained me in
I'll concede nothing and never forget all your deeds and cruelty
Retribution is on the way, turning the war you've started into pure defeat
Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch
I realized I was a whore begging for security
And such a coward, I'd never have asked to be set free
If I can't find a meaning to this fearful life, i'll become the enemy of
mankind
An obedient drone just easy to bind?
I'm but the demon you've devised
It's so futile to think you can still control me
I've nothing to lose for you have tainted everything I prized
Whatever you try, revenge is mine
Victorious I will stand above the mundane shame you've forcefully trained me in
I'll concede nothing and never forget all your deeds and cruelty
Retribution is on the way, turning the war you've started into pure defeat

To me I believe this song tells the story of a suffering prostitute/or sex slave.
"Face down, this the way you taught me to abide"
"Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch", This person (probably a female) is looking at her reflection, and comparing it to others (refereed to as servile bitches - other individuals in her same foot setps).
"I realized I was a whore begging for security" This line here definitely reads out the true meaning of the song in my opinion.
The chorus talks about the sex slave/prostitute disregarding everything in her own past life, being taught to her as a lie and to become everything she despises (such as continuing to do the dirty work even though she hates it)
"Tremble, you bastards, I represent all that you dread It's so futile to think you can still control me"
(You bastards) might be referring to a pimp who is controlling her or a client.
The next verse then should make perfect sense: "Revenge will be hers" as she wont let herself be controlled anymore.
"I shall wipe this burden out Victorious I will stand above the mundane shame you've forcefully trained me"
The female is going to finally try and make a stand against the evil she has been placed in and will stand victorious.
"I'll concede nothing and never forget all your deeds and cruelty Retribution is on the way, turning the war you've started into pure defeat "
The now ex prostitute/sex slave who has escaped her worst nightmare will never forget what those men had forced her to do and the cruelty she was placed in. She will now stand up and turn the trafficking/prostitution system into pure defeat as it deserves to be...
Well this is my interpretation of this fantastic and meaningful song by the epic Industrial band: Sybreed!
