Burdens v5

(Act IX: The Spiritkeeper meets Many-Times-Burned, Paragon of Survival, but is disturbed by the great elder's extreme views on destruction and selfishness. Many-Times-Burned decides that a more informative approach may be needed to convince the youngest Draak-Kin generation of its righteousness.) [Intro] I am the fire within the mountain. The anchor amid the storm's fury. Unyielding against the ravenous Void. I am the echo of battles you never knew. The phoenix reborn in flames of rage. Standing alone against all hurricanes. [Verse] Survival, the law of powers immortal. No debate allowed by cold, stark reality. I would extinguish every star in the sky, To preserve our light for one more moment. [Chorus] You can choose to call it brutal... You can choose to call it cruel... Whatever kind of monster you think I am... Know I've borne this burden for you. Yes, I've borne this burden for you! [Verse] Sleepless Onyx, our minds forever racing, No peace in rest, no escape in dreams. Our hearts bound to the stars' fading light, While we taste the ashes in every breath. [Chorus] We could choose to call it hopeless... We could choose to call it vain... But in despair, that's where our light shines... So we've borne these burdens for you. Yes, we've borne these burdens for you! [Extended Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I sing, now, about the Skyfall. When the Ruiner called for True War. The heavens wept as our world burned. Amid hell, I heard the call of destiny. I charged straight into the fray. Demolished countless metal-born nightmares, And ended more lives than you could ever know. In heinous dance with death, I came alive! And by the end, this charred husk remained! [Chorus] I could choose to say it's too much. I could choose to surrender and die. Yet I would stand in fire a thousand more times... Because I've borne these burdens for you. Because I've borne these burdens for you. Yes, I've borne these burdens for you! [Outro] Yes, I've borne these burdens for you! Yes, I've borne these burdens for you!
