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
