Mettle

Hey outcast Through the storm of ash and blood A crucible of agony Tell me what's left Only to exist in a vacuum Or a new page Hoping when it's hopeless I'm not blind I'm right here Burn the letter, leave the past, flip the sorrow I'm not blind I'm right here Beyond the echo Awake sleeper Test your mettle It's not just words We leave behind In the cipher Do not tarry Now is the time What's your story From a red sky blue There's nowhere left to hide Knowing I've come through With eyes from the other side An epoch Rising from my end of days A new song written for these strange times My endgame Breaking from the crooked place Liars lost Running from reflection I'm not blind I'm right here Lose the mask, break the tomb, embrace the scars I'm not blind I'm right here Beyond the echo Awake sleeper Test your mettle It's not just words We leave behind In the cipher Do not tarry Now is the time What's your story From a red sky blue There's nowhere left to hide Knowing I've come through With eyes from the other side Don't you stay in your blood Put the hammer down Be broken, be shattered Give it all, you are free You are free You are free
