Brave

Let me tell you who I am
I’ll write the story in my blood
My past self doesn’t give a damn
They died alongside everyone

Silence left me terrified
But it brought me back to life
In the dark we'll open our eyes

And here we are
Alive so far
Burning out like shooting stars
But withering
I've broken free of a curse that nearly killed me

We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts
The nightmare lies behind us
It’s too late for us to restart
But here is where good men come to die
A price paid for my blind sacrifice

Stumbling through a lucid dream
Challenged by the toxic air
The battle lives inside of me
I see its shadows everywhere

I was once buried alive
I still don't know how I survived
And fire doesn't burn so well
After you've dragged yourself from hell

But here you are
My guiding star
What lies behind my beating heart
We haven't died
Burning inside, reclaiming fragments of our lives

We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts
The nightmare lies behind us
It’s too late for us to restart
But here is where good men come to die
A price paid for my blind sacrifice

Seconds are abstracted
We’re measured by our breaths
But I’m not disillusioned
We’re not fighting to the death

I can’t tell where the days end
The future’s infinite
But we’re in this together so I’m less afraid of it

We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts
The nightmare lies behind us
Now is our moment to restart
Here is where evil comes to die
Here is where the brave come to fight
Today is our last sacrifice
The road towards our beckoning light
