Clockwork Heart of Lyra

[Intro] I fell through a broken doorway Into a city made of smoke and gold Changed my face just to survive But my real name still burns below... [Verse 1] Born where the lanterns barely glowed Sharn kept secrets in the cold Every mirror looked like war Every fever opened doors Elar found me in the ash Touched my head, the fire passed "Little sorcerer", he sighed "Your soul bends space when terrified" [Pre-Chorus] So I smiled like it was easy Even when it hurt to breathe Magic hidden in my bloodstream Static underneath my skin [Chorus] Runaway star in a velvet sky Clockwork heart and illusion eyes Every spell is another disguise But I still dance through the firelight Oh Lyra, Lyra Lost girl made of neon prayers If the world forgets your name Then sing it louder in the rain [Verse 2] Academy of silver knives Pretty rich kids dressed in white They laughed every time I spoke Till the portals cracked and broke Wind exploded through the room Teachers frozen, filled with doom Then the darkness pulled me down And spat me near Neverwinter town [Build] I stole the face of my worst enemy Just to walk the streets safely Funny how monsters survive By pretending to be pretty [Chorus] Runaway star in a velvet sky Clockwork heart and illusion eyes Every spell is another disguise But I still dance through the firelight Oh Lyra, Lyra Lost girl made of neon prayers If the world forgets your name Then sing it louder in the rain [Bridge] Azara said: "Someday we leave this city behind..." But blood stained the theater curtains And silence swallowed the stage lights [Verse 3] Now the tavern candles shake Maps and prophecies awake Satyr songs and drow moon eyes Priests and mages throwing dice Hydras scream beneath the caves Ancient golems guard the graves Still I laugh and cast my glow Like I’m not afraid below [Final Chorus] Runaway star in a velvet sky Clockwork heart and illusion eyes Every scar became a guiding light Leading me into the endless night Oh Lyra, Lyra Spellbound girl of shattered mirrors If destiny wants me afraid I’ll rewrite fate on the tavern stage [Outro] One candle One map One strange letter And somewhere beyond the storm... My real adventure starts tonight.
