[pipe organ intro plays with bass clarinet]
[Verse 1]
(Slow tempo)
Burdens on my shoulders, scars carved in stone
Facing all my demons, fighting to atone
Darkness in my mind, tempests in my soul
Ready for the reckoning, make the broken whole
[Pre-Chorus]
Sins weighing heavy, thunder in my chest
Breaking through the silence, destiny oppressed
[Verse 2]
(Screaming vocals)
Echoes of mistakes, haunting every breath
Seeking redemption, defying death
Voices in the shadows, call me to the fight
In the darkness, I ignite my inner light
[Pre-Chorus]
Sins weighing heavy, thunder in my chest
Breaking through the silence, destiny oppressed
[Chorus]
Transcend the judgment, rise above the past
Forge a new horizon, find a peace at last
From ashes I emerge, stronger than before
Becoming something greater, breaking down the door
[Verse 3]
Questions in the mirror, reflections of my soul
Climbing out the abyss, making myself whole
War within survives, but I won’t give in
Transcend my faults, let the new life begin
[dark, heavy bass solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Sins weighing heavy, thunder in my chest
Breaking through the silence, destiny oppressed
[Chorus]
Transcend the judgment, rise above the past
Forge a new horizon, find a peace at last
From ashes I emerge, stronger than before
Becoming something greater, breaking down the door
[Outro]
Feel the light emerging, reborn anew
The weight has lifted, I am breaking through
[Tempo slows down]
[Final verse]
Paying for my sins, giving it all
Lie with skeletons, all I saw
My life forfeit, now i can rest
Start the next chapter, the next test
Hear a new voice, all it can say
Prepare again, your judgement day
Atlantica
