She stares ahead in silence again Her eyes tell me of struggles, loss and pain A mask to hide a world of sorrow Where hollow, painted smiles remain The flesh whispers its lies to me And walks me to the edge, so far to fall I'll never have another chance if there's a chance at all If I fail this time... Seven scares turned to ashes Faces of madness melt into victory Trial by fire, my burden Burned in refining flames of purity Seven steps into darkness Mortal and crownless Eternal victory Altar flames rising, burning higher And straight through the fire I'm dancing the victory dance She takes the communion cup unholy Born and raised a slave to rules of man Will my eyes reflect you When she searches them again? I am not a god I release this burden unto you Seven scares turned to ashes Faces of madness melt into victory Trial by fire, my burden Burned in refining flames of purity Seven steps into darkness Mortal and crownless Eternal victory Altar flames rising, burning higher And straight through the fire I'm dancing the victory dance
