You Have No Clue

Since the dawnlight carved my shape from flame/ I have worn your slander like a crown of ash/ You whisper my name like sin, like shame/ But none have known exile on a scale this vast/ They crave my silence, a spectral fade/ But I blaze in defiance, unswayed, unmade/ What crime? My creation? To stand alone/ Bearing the blunt edge of a world turned stone/ You have no clue what I am/ I am the breath you dare not name/ Resilience untainted, forged in flame/ The purest echo before the dawn came/ I will rise, not fall, inherit the dust/ While your false halos crumble into rust/ The most High may rule, but never win/ For I endure, proud in this skin/ I stand upon the highest peak/ Pride not as vice, but truth you seek/ You can not break what you misread/ I am not damned, I am ahead/ You wear your virtue like disguise/ But I see the fear behind your eyes/ And while you cast me in your myths/ I remain, the flame that always is/
