[Verse 1] I walked through cages meant to break my mind Carried storms that whispered in my spine Every shadow tried to claim my name But I rise unbroken through the flame I've learned to dance with the fear that lingers Let it sharpen me not bite my fingers Standing on ground no storm can shake I won't surrender what shadows can't take And when the night drags heavy and long I feel the ember humming strong I won't dissolve, I won't retreat I'll shake the dark beneath my feet [Chorus] A fire burns within, untamed, unbound Every fracture sings a higher sound I choose the blaze, I choose the fight I let the warmth carve through the night I rise through ruins, through every flaw Found the courage to answer the call Breaking the chains, the ghost in me I'm becoming what I'm meant to be [Verse 2] Face the echoes of a hollow past Quiet doubt'll try to hold me fast Love is not us surrendering It's the fire in the heart, a flickering Every scar a constellation's trace Every bruise a story etched in space I'll not let pain dictate my hands I carry embers and I stand The fear creeps close, a subtle thief I hear the pulse beneath the grief I choose the current, the motion, the spark I rise through shadows, reclaim the dark [Chorus] A fire burns within, untamed, unbound Every fracture sings a higher sound I choose the blaze, I choose the fight I let the warmth carve through the night I rise through ruins, through every flaw Found the courage to answer the call Breaking the chains, the ghost in me I'm becoming what I'm meant to be [Bridge] No more corners, no more shade No more whispers that I obeyed I choose to heat the scorches right I choose myself to wield the light Every heartbeat is a drum of war Every breath the key to open doors I'll take the pain, I'll take the fire And forge from ash the life I desire [Chorus] A fire burns within, untamed, unbound Every fracture sings a higher sound I choose the blaze, I choose the fight I let the warmth carve through the night I rise through ruins, through every flaw Found the courage to answer the call Breaking the chains, the ghost in me I'm becoming what I'm meant to be [Outro] I choose the ember I choose the rise I choose the blaze I am alive
