The Velvet Fire

Verse 1: In the quiet of the dawn, beneath the shadow's veil, Lies a whisper of the storms, where once I frail. Caught in cages of the past, bound in chains I cast, Silent echoes of the blast, now hold fast. Pre-Chorus: Watch me rise from the dust, where my dreams did rust, Hear the steel in my voice, claim back my choice. Chorus: This is the velvet fire, burning through the night, Turning pain to power, in the crimson light. Let the flames go higher, as our spirits unite, In the velvet fire, we find our might. Verse 2: Through the pages of my fears, inked in lines of tears, I script the triumph over years, in shifting gears. No more shadows to appease, in the breath of the breeze, I am more than their decrees, I am release. Pre-Chorus: Stride into the fray, with the break of day, Forge my path, my way, come what may. Chorus: This is the velvet fire, burning through the night, Turning pain to power, in the crimson light. Let the flames go higher, as our spirits unite, In the velvet fire, we find our might. Bridge: Beneath the ash, beneath the ire, Beneath the weight of the dire, Lies the spark, the undying pyre, Now watch me rise, ever higher.

Verse 3: With every heartbeat, the embers wake, A canvas of the skies, for my own sake. From the silence, from the cold, A phoenix rising, bold and gold. Pre-Chorus: Now in the mirror, the truth I see, In the flames' reflection, I am free. Chorus: This is the velvet fire, burning through the night, Turning pain to power, in the crimson light.

As the night retreats, let the dawn agree, In the velvet fire, forever we'll be free.
