Lyrics

The anguish of my soul a maelstrom of pain
A life of violence torture grief and loss in vain
Yet I have smiled a ghastly grin a mask to hide my despair
And in my heart a spark of hope doth flicker still a flame
Like a phoenix from the ashes I rose reborn
From the depths of my own personal hell I emerged transformed
The only times I broke were when all seemed lost
When cruelty and lies consumed all and naught was left to boast
But then I tasted kindness a sweet sweet wine
And abandoned malice that fiery passion of mine
Yet I must confess malice has its place within
A half of me that doth demand to be set free to reign
It protected me and those I loved in times of need
And I must say I have a right to anger indeed
For kindness should not be the only virtue I hold dear
But reality too must be acknowledged and sometimes anger is near
The chains that bind me to my past to my pain
Must be broken and I must be free to be myself to reign
I am well enough to know when to reject
When to fight and when to let be and inspect
Right and righteous are not always the same
And in my heart I know this to be true a burning flame
So let it be what it will be I shall be me
And in that freedom I shall find my destiny
