This maze has walls that do not breathe Each heavy step a toll of rust A brilliant spark is buried deep They only see the falling ash I gave my all to feed this ghost But still they look right through my eyes The path is long and cold and wide I walk it with a bleeding heart I will not bow to your false crowns This flame inside is all I have left You pushed me down into the cold dark But watch me rise and take my stand I see the trap that you have laid An endless maze of empty words They want to mould me in their shape But I am built of harder stone This path I walk is all my own Though every step is paved with glass I will not falter, will not bend Until I reach the very end I will not bow to your false crowns This flame inside is all I have left You pushed me down into the cold dark But watch me rise and take my stand The dust will settle on this ground The scars I bear will never fade But I am still standing here alone Still standing here alone
