A Thousand Degrees

Awaken frozen years of fright The light that died within the night The last of all you want to be In eyes that no longer want to see The turning of your sins to truth Experience that handed proof That falling down will make you rise The mirror burning through your lies Awaken shivering months of pain The same old story; same old games The fear that sunk into your heart In hate you thought could not depart Through every hurt that cracks your throne There’s a silent story to decode Now understand; ignite your mind Now light the way and step outside Awaken screaming days of loss The counting down of every cost The breaking child becoming ice In eyes that suffer a thousand lives Awaken this moment of return Though the pain will briefly burn Step through your shadow and become The shining light without the sun
