Clara - Ad victoriam

[Intro] [Verse 1] I watched the silence settle over broken streets Where hopes and questions quietly would meet Every choice can build or slowly wear away The road beneath tomorrow starts with today I carried hope where fear had learned to grow Not every answer is a thing we'll ever know Still every step against the falling tide Keeps another flame alive inside [Pre-Chorus] When walls appear I find a door I won't stop searching For something more [Chorus] Ad victoriam Ad victoriam Beyond the shadows We're reaching for the dawn Ad victoriam Ad victoriam No borrowed answers We choose what carries on [Verse 2] Some hold on tight to all they've always known Some pay the price where hidden currents flow Every direction leaves a mark behind What we protect reveals what's on our minds I won't condemn the paths that others take Every decision bends but doesn't break If one hand opens, another learns to see The smallest change can shape eternity [Pre-Chorus] No perfect roads No certain end Still every heartbeat Can choose to mend [Chorus] Ad victoriam Ad victoriam Beyond the shadows We're reaching for the dawn Ad victoriam Ad victoriam No borrowed answers We choose what carries on [Post-Chorus] Stand tall Speak true Even when the wind has changed Hold on Move through Every step will leave its trace [Bridge] I won't answer anger with another flame The circle only learns another name Justice grows where courage learns to stay One quiet voice can still reshape the day No path is free from all the things we lose Yet every step reveals another truth Not every ending looks the way we planned But hope still rises hand in hand [Build-Up] I won't break... I won't turn... Every ending leaves another world to learn... [Final Chorus] Ad victoriam Ad victoriam Beyond the shadows We're reaching for the dawn Ad victoriam Ad victoriam No borrowed answers We choose what carries on Ad victoriam Ad victoriam Together standing Until the night is gone [Outro] Ad victoriam... Ad victoriam... The road goes on... We carry hope...
