[Intro]
Beneath the frost, beneath the stone
A spark survives the night alone
[Verse 1]
I carried winter in my chest
A map of places I had left
The iron rain, the empty hall
The sound of every promise fall
But through the cracks beneath the door
A line of amber crossed the floor
I raised my eyes, I faced the day
And watched the old fear lose its shape
[Pre-Chorus]
No chain can hold what learns to rise
No night can close a waking sky
[Chorus]
The shadows fade, the walls release
The wound becomes a road to peace
I lift my voice, I claim my name
The dark retreats before the flame
The shadows fade, the dawn is near
I leave behind the borrowed fear
With every step, with every breath
I choose the road beyond regret
[Verse 2]
The bells were cracked, the towers worn
Yet somewhere a new world was born
I found my strength in broken ground
And heard tomorrow's distant sound
The hands that pulled me from the deep
Are promises I choose to keep
No crown of gold, no throne of stone
Could match the heart I've made my own
[Pre-Chorus]
No chain can hold what learns to rise
No night can close a waking sky
[Chorus]
The shadows fade, the walls release
The wound becomes a road to peace
I lift my voice, I claim my name
The dark retreats before the flame
The shadows fade, the dawn is near
I leave behind the borrowed fear
With every step, with every breath
I choose the road beyond regret
[Bridge]
Let the cold wind call
I will not bend
Let the old gates fall
This is not the end
Across the silent fields
A thousand torches blaze
The heart that would not kneel
Has found its brighter days
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
The shadows fade, the walls release
The wound becomes a road to peace
I lift my voice, I claim my name
The dark retreats before the flame
The shadows fade, the dawn is here
I stand unbroken, crystal clear
With every step, with every breath
I choose the road beyond regret
[Outro]
The shadows fade
The morning stays
I walk awake
Into the blaze
