Foresight of a beating heart, ripped from the womb

Weary of the coming light, addressing the tomb

Triumph beyond the pain, speak unto me

Lexicon of death, words to eternally grieve

Gaze once more onto the view of fortitude

Shield the lashing, shield the soul in solitude

Pale hand insignia raises the son

Splitting the spirit from flesh and blood

Weld this coat of arms straight to the bone

Worn until a corpse remains on the throne

Walls of empathy reflecting the grey

Mirrors turn inward, flowers held to the chest

Bend the will, mend the seams, light intervenes

Gouge the earth and intertwine the pain and the strength

Forge this testament into transcendence

Weaken the qualms of survival

Conceal these aching wounds of penitence

Wield this burden into victory

Anguish, torment, sorrow, mourning

Forge this testament into transcendence

Weaken the qualms of survival

Conceal these aching wounds of penitence

Wield this burden

Wield this burden

Wield this burden into victory

Pale hand insignia raises the son

Splitting the spirit from flesh and blood

Weld this coat of arms straight to the bone

Worn until a corpse remains on the throne

Gaze once more onto the view of fortitude

Shield the lashing, shield the soul in solitude
