Verse 1 Cloaked in dusk, I’m bound, my soul’s a glyph of shadowed lore, Truth’s eternal flame inscribes my fate on timeless shores. Destiny’s a blade, I clasp, I shape its jagged arc, Razor-rhymed defiance, etch my will in iron spark. Nature’s chant, I weave, my breath a thread in reason’s song, Cast the self’s deceit aside, where fleeting fears belong. Death’s a pulse, it hums, I face its call with steady gaze, Stoic ember burns within, my soul’s unyielding blaze. Chorus *_Do your work_* with courage, soul alight, *_Stay your course_* through blinding night, *_Live for truth_*, ignite the fleeting fight. Stoic’s ember, I transcend the plight. Verse 2 Mind’s a forge, it cracks, a crucible of silent strife, Virtue’s beacon, firm, no tempest dims my inner life. Voices fade to mist, their fleeting cries a hollow wail, I’m the pivot, carved, my creed the steel that won’t assail. Fate’s a tide, I ride, each wave a choice to stand or break, Every gash a comet’s trail, a mark for wisdom’s sake. Time’s a shroud, I rend, my roots unswayed by mortal dread, Words like torrents sear my oath, my Stoic’s path ahead. Chorus *_Do your work_* with courage, soul alight, *_Stay your course_* through blinding night, *_Live for truth_*, ignite the fleeting fight. Stoic’s ember, I transcend the plight. Bridge Unfold, arise, through the chasm’s endless roar, Slay the doubt, I’m light, I’m tethered to the core. Reason reigns, ablaze, my soul’s the pyre that splits the dark, I’m the cinder, I’m the tempest, I’m the Stoic’s mark. Verse 3 Shape the self, I soar, my thoughts a fortress wrought in flame, Sacred truths, the anvil’s strike, my soul’s eternal claim. Rhymes like shards, I hurl, a storm of syllabic precision, Mold my fate, control’s my art, my *Meditations*’ vision. Night’s a cloak, it falls, the glow I choose to amplify, Virtue’s line, I tread, the only spark to light the sky. In the now, I thrive, the moment’s all my will can bind, Stoic’s ember, I’m the fulcrum, I’m the boundless mind. Chorus *_Do your work_* with courage, soul alight, *_Stay your course_* through blinding night, *_Live for truth_*, ignite the fleeting fight. Stoic’s ember, I transcend the plight. Outro Dust to flame, I climb, the cycle fades, I’m free, Stoic’s ember, my soul, eternal in decree.
