[Verse 1]
Ash in my lungs
Blood on the snow
I wear a brave face
So you’ll never know
The weight of the oaths
Carved into bone
I laugh with the legion
And march alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see the cracks in steel
Hear the tremor in my call
Every victory I steal
Takes a piece
Takes it all
[Chorus]
Beyond the mask
Where the broken pieces gather
I face the past
Like a blade against the weather
If I fall tonight
Let the world unveil the scars I hide
Beyond the mask
I am burning into life
[Verse 2]
Names on my skin
Ghosts in the hall
I raise a bright flag
Over ruin and wall
They cheer for the shield
They kneel to the crown
But nobody questions
Who’s under it now
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the fading fire
Under armor
Under lies
Every step along the wire
Cuts a deeper compromise
[Chorus]
Beyond the mask
Where the broken pieces gather
I face the past
Like a blade against the weather
If I fall tonight
Let the world unveil the scars I hide
Beyond the mask
I am burning into life
[Bridge]
Tear the silk from my eyes
Let the iron run dry
If I shatter in the light
At least I lived
At least I tried (hey!)
Raise your fists to the sky
Every coward
Every knight
We are more than our disguise
We are storm
We are the strike
[Chorus]
Beyond the mask
Where the broken pieces gather
I face the past
Like a blade against the weather
If I fall tonight
Let the world unveil the scars I hide
Beyond the mask
I was forged inside the fire
Beyond the mask
Hear my heart become the choir
