TruthBeKnown - By The Flames Lyrics

raised in the shadows

of empires built on stolen lives

the remains of the lost

reflected in every shackled mind

freed by the flames

and tempered in this peace,

I know as long as I hold on

I remain untouched

guided by this need

to confront and overcome

this world that surrounds me

this world that seeks to end me

fearing judgment

I wonder what I alone can change

Steeling myself for the rain

I know is sue to come

Cut to my core,

I try so hard to cling to my convictions

my dignity,my only shield

chorus

one voice crying out

against a wilderness of shame

One voice crying out

against an ocean of silence

One voice crying out

that reaches the core of my being

One voice that speaks with

the rage of angels.

I open my heart

I release the flame

with hope and love for you

accept this light

tears run through my hands

but I can sleep at night.
