[solo female vocals, Chorus] I am the bride Stand with hope and pride Born an undead life Raising for the light [Cathedral Organ hits in reprising chorus] [Verse1] No one asked me, but here I stand, A canvas of sorrow, by fate's cruel hand. Dug up and abused, like a ghost of the past, Yet within these scars, a spirit holds fast. Coerced and despised, I bear the weight, Of wounds that run deep, but I’ll not hesitate. Stitches hold my flesh, a patchwork design, A cold, empty shell, with a heart that will shine. [Chorus] I am the bride Stand with hope and pride Born an undead life Raising for the light I am the bride I endure every snide Called a freak, and misfit Crying in the night [piano chorus reprise] [Verse2] I got to know the world, with its shadows so dark, But within every flicker, there is a small spark. For amidst all the chaos, there’s beauty to gain, In the cracks of the surface, between all the pain. So when a heart is torn, and the hope goes out I step out of the shadows, without a doubt with a hidden hand, and a breath of care I am the helping presence, that is always there [Out-Chorus] I am the bride Stand with hope and pride Born an undead life Raising for the light I am the bride sneaking through the tide Follow every call Turn dark into bright [Instrumental, symphonic interlude, piano chorus backing] [whispering to belting Verse] For no one begged me, but still, I will fight, In the depths of the darkness, I’ll seek out the light. So here I will stand, my voice loud and clear, A testament of strength, to all that you fear. [symphonic full orchestra swells] [Step-Up-Modulation Chorus] I am the bride Stand with hope and pride Born an undead life Raising for the light I am the bride Fighting side by side All those monsters and demons Fear my immortal might [Symphonic flows out] [Outro]
