Black Wings Ascending

I was born where the light breaks thin

Where hope survives by discipline

Every dream was sharpened steel

Every vow was meant to kill the fear

I don't wait for doors to open

I run until they tear

I don't follow fading stars

I become the flare

If I fall

I rise faster

If I bleed

I shine harder

Black wings ascending

Into the night

Black wings ascending

Fueled by the fight

Black wings ascending

Hear me ignite

I don't escape

I claim my height

You called it madness

I called it drive

You feared the dark

I learned to fly

Every loss became momentum

Every tear a spark

I don't fear the end of days

I fear a quiet heart

No chains hold

What decides

To rise beyond

What fate denies

Black wings ascending

Into the storm

Black wings ascending

Reborn, reforged

Black wings ascending

Watch me take flight

I don't survive

I redefine

Above the doubt

Above the fall

Black wings ascending

Feel how they burn

Black wings ascending

This is my turn

Black wings ascending

Sky split wide

I don't belong

I rise
