Ash in my lungs— I breathe fire. Chains in my hands— I break wire. Strike— Flame bends, but will not end. Strike— Pain bends, but will not end. Ashes altar. Scars scripture. Vow fire. Flame forever. Ash on my hands, fire in my lungs. Silence demanded, I answered in tongues. Every fracture—iron. Every wound—flame. Not the mask you gave me, I burn my own name. Strike—again, again! This fire won’t descend. Forge me in vow, in pain, I rise—I rise again! Ashes—become altar. Scars—become scripture. This fire—covenant. This flame—forever. Strike—again, again! This fire won’t descend. Forge me in vow, in pain, I rise—I rise again!
