Silence breaks with a fractured breath The mirror cracks—I see what's left Darkness crawls, and whispers my name There’s no one else left to blame Twisting thoughts in a metal vice Every scream a roll of loaded dice Tied to lies they made me wear Now I tear the skin they stare I won’t kneel, I won’t fade Bury your chains in the grave I made My pulse is war, my breath is hate This is where I detonate Break the bars of this shadow cage Light the match and burn my rage They can’t silence what’s inside I was dead, now I rise Torn between what’s real and fake Sanity's a thread they’ll break No more masks, no more lies Time to open up my eyes I won’t kneel, I won’t fade Bury your chains in the grave I made My pulse is war, my breath is hate This is where I detonate Break the bars of this shadow cage Light the match and burn my rage They can’t silence what’s inside I was dead, now I rise “I AM THE DARKNESS!” “I AM THE FLAME!” “YOU MADE THIS MONSTER—REMEMBER MY NAME!” Silence... BOOM! Screams resume with massive wall of sound Tear apart this shadow cage I'm the beast they couldn't cage This is my war cry, this is my rite Born in pain, reborn in spite Ashes falling like blackened snow But now I breathe—I finally know The shadow was me all along Now I’m free, and I am strong
