Whispers of the Flame

I hear the voice in my head Whispering secrets I cannot name Born to fight, yet bound by fate Shadows carve the path of flames Chains of duty, never breaking Whose call guides this cursed path? Echoes of a will unseen, design I follow orders, not mine I choose to burn, just to remain Passing fire through the veins of time In the void, no truth is found Only echoes circling 'round Every foe reflects my face Inheritance of pain and will Bearing burdens older than me Yet still I march through flame and ruin Am I more than broken faith? Does freedom lie beyond the fight? Through the fire I pass, yet see no light Still I rise, still I carry the flame I choose to burn, just to remain The proof of existence passed to the next Whose fate guides this flame? Whose hand builds the cage? Only echoes circling 'round
