heart made of steel

The mirror shows a ghost

Of who I used to be

Staring at the scars

Of a life that bled for free

I carried all the weight

For everyone I know

But the tide turned cold

And I had nowhere left to go

I poured my soul in dirt

Expecting flowers in the rain

All I ever harvested

Was a different kind of pain

I screamed into the silence

Demanding to be heard

Every promise that you broke

Was just a sharp and bitter word

I am the fire rising

I am the force of dawn

The shadows have surrendered

The weakness is gone

I’m tearing down the cages

I’m breaking every seal

Heart made of steel

(heart made of steel)

I held my breath for years

While you were chasing yours

You took me for granted

And left me at the door

I carried all the memories

You left behind alone

Wandering through the dark

Like I had turned to stone

But the wind is changing

The gravity is gone

I’m cutting through the wreckage

I’m moving on toward dawn

You can’t keep me captive

With a cage built from deceit

I’m walking through the fire

And I’m landing on my feet

I am the fire rising

I am the force of dawn

The shadows have surrendered

The weakness is gone

I’m tearing down the cages

I’m breaking every seal

Heart made of steel

(heart made of steel)

I’m not a victim

I’m a force of nature

I paid the price in blood

And I’m taking back my name

You wanted me to crumble

You wanted me to break

I’m the hurricane

For every soul you take

Get up

The time for fear is dead

I’m writing my own ending

With the truth I said

No more apologies

No more looking back at you

I’m carving out a future

That is finally coming through

I am the fire rising

I am the force of dawn

The shadows have surrendered

The weakness is gone

I’m tearing down the cages

I’m breaking every seal

Heart made of steel

(heart made of steel)

I’m the storm you couldn’t tame

I’ve risen from the ash

It’s now my turn

(it’s now my turn)
