(Verse 1)

In the cathedral where time stands still

I hear your voice like winter’s chill

The stained glass bleeds in shades of blue

And every crack still whispers you

(Verse 2)

You were the curse I thought divine

A sacred wound I called “mine”

Your name was carved into my breath

But love, my dear, became my death

(Chorus)

Burn the altar, break the vow

I am not your shadow now

From sacred dust and shattered trust

I rise again, I rise from rust

Your ghost won't hold me, not this time

I sever the bond, reclaim what's mine

(Verse 3)

The choir sleeps beneath the floor

Their hymns now scream, they beg no more

Each step I take, the silence cries

But I won’t kneel, I won’t apologize

(Verse 4)

You kissed my soul with lips of stone

Then left me in the dark, alone

But stars are born in blackest skies

And I have fire behind these eyes

(Chorus)

Burn the altar, break the vow

I am not your shadow now

From sacred dust and shattered trust

I rise again, I rise from rust

Your ghost won't hold me, not this time

I sever the bond, reclaim what's mine

(Breakdown)

You built your faith on broken wings

But I have learned what freedom brings

No chain remains, no sacred scar

I walk alone… and that’s my star

(Solo)

(Verse 5)

The dust now settles at my feet

No tears remain, no more deceit

I turn my back on what decayed

And walk into the light I made

(Bridge)

Let the bells toll for what has died

Let echoes scream the truths you hide

I am the flame you tried to drown

But I wear ashes like a crown

(Chorus)

Burn the altar, break the vow

I am not your shadow now

From sacred dust and shattered trust

I rise again, I rise from rust

Your ghost won't hold me, not this time

I sever the bond, reclaim what's mine

(Outro)

No more prayers on lips of stone…

No more thrones of flesh and bone…

The past can haunt, the dark can call…

But I…

I fear no fall.
