Born in gold, born in flame Every star knew her name Castle lights, a newborn cry Promises fill up the sky Twelve voices bless her breath One steps in — speaks of death But even curses twist and bend What was broken still can mend They burned the wheels, they sealed the gate But no wall’s higher than fate I won’t fall — I’ll rise in time A hundred years, one steady line Let the roses grow and climb They won’t keep me from the light If I sleep, it’s not the end It’s a pause before I stand again Sixteen years like beating drums Every step says “here it comes” Dusty stairs, an ancient room Thread and steel and sudden bloom One small drop, the world holds breath Not goodbye — just rest The fire dims, the clocks all slow But hearts still beat beneath the stone I won’t fall — I’ll rise in time A hundred years, one steady line Let the roses grow and climb They won’t keep me from the light Call it fate, call it a dream I’ll wake stronger than I’ve been Boom — the years go marching on Boom — but hope is never gone Boom — legends fade, but truth survives Boom — love still runs, still drives I won’t fade — I’ll break the spell Through thorn and wall and silent hell One brave step, one open door Love hits like a drum — once more I was sleeping, now I see The world was waiting just for me Eyes open Light returns Dornröschen wakes And the future burns
