This song has a somewhat unusual structure with its extended ending section. It shows the darker side of Manticess. Still, there are sparks and energy.

lyrics

I have been hurt
I have been bruised
I have been beaten
I shift into the shades
Slip between the days
Arise from the ashes th walk tall
I've been newborn
Pourin' rain in me and outside
Born through this war
Burning and tearing up my life

I curse the world
I lost all to
And go to build my own
No use to talk
Just pain and steel
Speak through a whirling sword
I walk the nights
To light fires with my spark
A lonely fight
For my sisters in the dark

A light will come through
Tear off the dawn
Tears of a shadow out of fearful hearts
I will raise a pyre
A flame in the sky
Like a Phoenix out of ashes I will arise

Flickering lights, streams running past me
Washing away all I have known and I have loved
Flickering lights, streams running past me
Washing away the blood sticking to my hands
Shimmering blades, bridges collapsing behind me
My lonely road leading me into shifting mists
Behind the horizon shines a light
A light for me
Shines a light
A light for me
A light for me
