The Weight I Carried

[Verse 1] I was born in fire, where the strong survive, But they saw me soft, said I’d never thrive. Too fat to fight, too weak to lead, Laughed in my face when I dared to dream. They called me Tub, they called me Lard, Said I’d never bear the scars, That I’d break before the blade, That I’d beg before the gods they prayed. [Pre-Chorus] But I won’t bow, I won’t kneel, I don’t need their chains to heal. I walked alone, I made my way, Through the dark, I found my faith. [Chorus] I deny the gods that cursed me, I defy the fate they gave. I am more than what they made me, I am strong, I am brave. Let them laugh, let them doubt, I still stand, I won’t back down. Through the trials, through the pain, I have risen once again. [Verse 2] They told me mercy was for fools, That love was weak, that hearts must bruise. But I am fire, I am steel, I love, I fight, I heal. Your gods demand we break and bleed, They call it honor, they call it creed. But I have seen a different light, I found my truth beyond the fight! [Pre-Chorus] I won’t bow, I won’t kneel, I don’t need their chains to heal. I walked alone, I made my way, Through the dark, I found my faith. [Chorus] I deny the gods that cursed me, I defy the fate they gave. I am more than what they made me, I am strong, I am brave. Let them laugh, let them doubt, I still stand, I won’t back down. Through the trials, through the pain, I have risen once again. [Bridge Soft, then building powerfully] They said I’d be nothing, that I’d fade away, But I built my strength through every day. I wear my scars, I own my past, But their chains on me will never last!!! [Final Chorus Bigger, soaring, full of victory] I deny the gods that cursed me, I defy the fate they gave. I am more than what they made me, I am strong, I am brave. Let them laugh, let them doubt, I still stand, I won’t back down. Through the trials, through the pain, I have risen once again!! [Instrumental] [Outro - Soft, triumphant] No more chains, no more fear, I am Tazar, I am here...
