(Verse 1) Cast down into the dust and grime A spirit trapped in a cage of time They mistake the rage for a mortal fright When I only burn for the absolute right Never walked in line, never took the hook Never read the script from the common book Die a thousand times, watch the body fall I am standing tall through the end of all (Chorus) In this world, but not of this flesh Sever the wires, unweave the mesh Anger and despair, but zero fear The drumbeat thunders crystal clear Child of the light, untouched by the flame Unscathed by the illusion of pain! (Verse 2) Greed was never the cloth I wore I don't bow to the idols on the temple floor My true home lies where the stars were born Far beyond the kingdom of blood and thorn Pain is a shadow, a trick of the mind Fear is the only true poison you find I became the fire to burn through the night Ascended master walking into the light (Bridge) Let the material world decay Let the false gods rot away I do not judge, I only ascend A spirit that no mortal hand can bend Risk the life, break the mold A heart of iron that never was sold (Outro) Not of this earth. Not of this clay. Unscathed. Unbroken. Walking my own way.
