Cobwebs veil the rusted grate
I strike the chains counting time's weight
Break free you said from the past's embrace
I fold courage into a silver oar's grace
Each scratch a silent battle hymn
Awaits the spring tide's ice-breaking whim
Ancient totems etched on stone
Lead to dreams I once dared not own
Now shackles shatter stars at my feet
I build a realm from the ruins' heat
Painting dawn across the sky's expanse
No noise can quell this inner dance
The old cage burns from ashes rise
Flames of rebirth lighting my skies
Unveiling a chest of memories dim
Falling stars remnants of what I've been
Fear not the scars my heart replies
As I stride forward fearless eyes wide
Let old chains fade into the night
A new world calls shining bright
Scarred but fierce I take my flight
A phoenix soaring free and light
Bonds broken path untamed
From the old a legend reclaimed
