I walked through ruins made of vows Past broken oaths and shattered crowns Each step ignites a sleeping spark A breath of fire in the dark They thought the silence sealed my fate But silence only cultivates From quiet soil and bitter rain A new resolve begins to flame Ashes cling to who I was But heat still pulses through the dust A quiet rage, a holy start The heartbeat of a broken heart I burn, but not for them to see This fire is mine, and mine alone No throne to claim, no chains to flee Just flames that carve me into stone Let them forget, let time depart But I will rise, with emberheart I buried tears where roots now grow And let the embers gently glow No blaze yet born to scorch the sky But still enough to testify I don't forgive, I don't forget But I'm not forged in vengeance yet The heat is slow, the flame is smart The will of one with many scars I burn, but not to seek their gaze This path is lit from deep within No warcry, yet no peace remains Just scars where flames have always been No crown, no sword, no crimson art Just me and this emberheart Not all fire roars Some fire waits I burn, and every breath I take Rewrites the tale they meant to end The flame they feared, they couldn't break Still sleeps but it ascends The dark may tear my soul apart But it will never dim this emberheart
