The Thesis of a Fallen Angel

[Verse 1] Every dawn has left me colder, every night has cut me deep. I have carried broken shelters, dreams I never got to keep. If the stars are kind to others, they were never kind to me. Still I rise, though fate reminds me, life is sorrow’s symphony. [Pre-Chorus] If the world is cruel, I’ll still remain, singing beauty out of pain… [Chorus] THE WORLD BEYOND IS MERCILESS, YET I STAND, YET I SING, THOUGH IT TEARS MY CHEST! IF I BREAK — LET MY SONG STILL FLY, FOR A MOMENT, I DEFY! THE WORLD BEYOND IS SHARP AND WIDE, BUT THESE WINGS STILL SPREAD THOUGH THEY’RE BRUISED INSIDE! IF I FALL — LET THE SILENCE KNOW, I WAS NEVER MEANT TO GROW! (HEY! HEY!) FLY! FLY! [Verse 2] Every smile was gone tomorrow, every hand has let me go. Still the music found within me made a garden out of snow. Though my voice was born in ashes, though my tears could drown the sea, I will keep on singing louder, till the grief becomes the key. [Pre-Chorus] If the world is cruel, I’ll still remain, singing beauty out of pain… [Chorus] THE WORLD BEYOND IS MERCILESS, YET I STAND, YET I SING, THOUGH IT TEARS MY CHEST! IF I BREAK — LET MY SONG STILL FLY, FOR A MOMENT, I DEFY! THE WORLD BEYOND IS SHARP AND WIDE, BUT THESE WINGS STILL SPREAD THOUGH THEY’RE BRUISED INSIDE! IF I FALL — LET THE SILENCE KNOW, I WAS NEVER MEANT TO GROW! (HEY! HEY!) FLY! FLY! [Bridge] Every loss became my story, every wound a melody. Even if the night destroys me, I will sing, and they will see. [Final Chorus — Key↑] THE WORLD BEYOND IS MERCILESS, YET I STAND, YET I SING, THOUGH IT TEARS MY CHEST! IF I BREAK — LET MY SONG STILL FLY, FOR A MOMENT, I DEFY! THE WORLD BEYOND IS SHARP AND WIDE, BUT THESE WINGS STILL SPREAD THOUGH THEY’RE BRUISED INSIDE! IF I FALL — LET THE SILENCE KNOW, I WAS BEAUTY BORN OF WOE! (FLY! FLY! FLY!) [Outro] The world beyond… is merciless. But still… I sing.
