The past has proven, through days gone by

Those fed by cruel hands seem to sharpen their teeth for the bite

While below the skin lies potential

To choose a greater path

Realise your actions hold consequence

And for each misguided step you take, someone must bear the weight

Compromise is never something I'd take lightly

Cauterise the wounds and let the scars speak for themselves

Burgeoning, I've come to terms with an imperfect past

Knowing when our lives diverged, my friend

You chose the wrong path

Carve these words into stone

Into stone

I have waited patiently for this time

I will leave behind a legacy

The weak willed will rupture and break

Compromise is never something I'd take lightly

Cauterise the wounds and let the scars speak for themselves

And I will be the change that is needed

I will be the foundation stone

I will be the change that is needed

I will be the foundation stone
