Branded By The Fire

I've walked through the ashes

I've carried the flame

Every scar on my body, has got a hard earned name

They said it would brake me

Burn me down to dust

But the heat just forged a steel in the bones I trust

Yeah, I'm branded by the fire

Carved by the pain

Every blister, every burn

Runs wild in my veins

I don't hide from the scorge

I don't run from the flame

I wear it like a badge

I ain't playing their game

What broke other man only made me rise higher

'Cause I'm branded

Branded by the fire

I've seen houses crumble

I've seen bridges collapse

But I learned to walk forward

Never looking back

It'll test your temper

Smoke or choke your pride

But I'll take that burn before I run and hide

Yeah, I'm branded by the fire

Carved by the pain

Every blister, every burn

Runs wild in my veins

I don't hide from the scorge

I don't run from the flame

I wear it like a badge

I ain't playing their game

What broke other man only made me rise higher

'Cause I'm branded

Branded by the fire

Some men pray for mercy when the heat comes down

But me, I found my mercy in the sound

While the crackle and roar that take me whole

That blaze didn't kill me

It gave me a soul

I'm branded by the fire

Carved by the pain

Every blister, every burn

Runs wild in my veins

I don't beg for the water

Don't cry for the rain

I was forged in the furnace

And I'll never be the same

What broke other men only made me rise higher

I'm not broken

I'm branded

By the fire

The fire didn't take me

It made me
