[Verse]
Once a shadow on the wall no voice no fight
Crawling in the dirt no strength no light
Empty hands reaching for a dream unseen
A whisper in the void where I’ve always been
[Verse 2]
Bloodied knuckles on the climb torn and raw
Every step a scream every breath a claw
Built a mountain from the ashes of my fear
But the echoes in the silence still too clear
[Chorus]
I rose from the fire but the flames took you
Strongest hands can’t hold what’s slipping through
Standing at the top but the wind cuts cold
No one left to hold no one left to hold
[Verse 3]
Broken hearts don’t mend with a warrior’s might
Battle scars don’t shine in the dead of night
Every victory a loss every triumph burns
A hero’s crown heavy with the lessons learned
[Bridge]
How do you fight the shadows in your mind
When the ones you loved are left behind
Every road leads me further from your face
Strength means nothing in an empty space
[Chorus]
I rose from the fire but the flames took you
Strongest hands can’t hold what’s slipping through
Standing at the top but the wind cuts cold
No one left to hold no one left to hold
