[Verse 1] Shadows whisper in the silent night Chains of sorrow hold me tight Fading echoes of a broken past Will this pain forever last? Crimson tears fall like the rain Drowning in this endless pain But deep within, a spark remains Calling out through iron chains [Pre-Chorus] Through the darkness, I hear a cry A distant flame that won’t deny The shattered soul still burning bright Reaching out beyond the night [Chorus] Rise from despair! Through the storm, I’ll breathe the air Break the silence, pierce the sky I was born, I will not die Fly beyond the endless sorrow Forge the strength to face tomorrow In the fire, I reclaim My heart, my soul, my name technical metal, instrumental, blistering guitar solo, tremolo picking, sweep arpeggios, 170 BPM, distorted high-gain guitar, double bass drums, no vocals, intense [Verse 2] Voices scream inside my head “Give it up, just stay here dead” But thunder roars within my veins I won’t bow to these chains Every scar becomes my shield Every wound will slowly heal From the ashes I ascend This is not where I will end [Pre-Chorus] Through the darkness, I hear a cry A distant flame that won’t deny The shattered soul still burning bright Reaching out beyond the night [Chorus] Rise from despair! Through the storm, I’ll breathe the air Break the silence, pierce the sky I was born, I will not die Fly beyond the endless sorrow Forge the strength to face tomorrow In the fire, I reclaim My heart, my soul, my name neoclassical metal, instrumental, fast shredding guitar solo, sweep arpeggios, 180 BPM, E minor, Malmsteen-inspired, orchestral backing, no vocals, studio quality [Bridge – melodic, dramatic] Even in the deepest night Stars are waiting out of sight If I fall, I’ll rise again Stronger than I’ve ever been Beyond the dark I ignite my final spark No more chains to hold me down I will claim my shining crown [Final Chorus – key change] Hear my cry! I will soar, I will defy Every fear that lives in me Now I’m finally free Through the fire, through the pain I will rise again, again From the darkness I became The eternal blazing flame
