Arcane Sound - Down Lyrics

From the shadows of birth, I rose in solemn grace
Their watchful gaze did weigh upon my bones
Yet in my breast, a howling spirit doth take place
Unfettered by their whispers and their drones
Where others see a frailty, I wield it like a sword
For strength is not in form but in the fire of the soul
Against the tides of mockery, this heart cannot be floored
I stand a rebel prince in dark control
They murmur doom and cast me to the fringe
Yet I doth endure in thunder's rolling cry
My voice, though soft, can quake the very hinge
Of doors once barred, now shattered where they lie
Lo! I am the tempest that none did foresee
I am the flame that scalds their shallow scorn
Banished from their hallowed halls of vanity
I rend the night, in wrath reborn
Each whispered slight, a dagger 'gainst my spine
Yet from each cut, my mettle doth emerge
Sweet defiance drip like blood from lines
That spark rebellion's clarion surge
My thoughts may stumble, yet ne'er my might
For 'tis the soul that kindles dreams untold
Steel resolves in the darkest plight
And bids the spirit to stand bold
Woe betide the ones who chain my light
For I doth blaze beyond their feeble view
In brazen storms of howling midnight
This heart shall reign forever true
Lo! I am the tempest that none did foresee
I am the flame that scalds their shallow scorn
Banished from their hallowed halls of vanity
I rend the night, in wrath reborn
Kneel not to their curséd reflections
Thine scars be crowns upon thine brow
What they name weakness be thy resurrection
Rise, rebel soul-be unbroken now
