Song Lyrics:
The chapel bell was split with rust
Its echo trapped beneath the stone
I traced my name through sheets of dust
Certain I would stand alone
Every doorway looked like teeth
Every hallway swallowed light
I heard my heartbeat shake the beams
And nearly turned to face the night
Then I caught my own reflection
In shattered colored window glass
The face that begged for one more reason
Would never let this moment pass
I will climb through every shadow
I will tear the chains apart
Every scar becomes a lantern
Burning brighter in my heart
I walked in carrying my terror
Now I’m louder than the storm
I became the fire I feared
And stepped out changed reborn
The iron gate gave one hard scream
Its hinges fought against my hand
Cold wind dragged across the floor
Like it knew where I would stand
Portrait eyes were painted black
Watching every careful stride
But every step I chose to take
Left another ghost behind
Fear had built a crooked throne
From every doubt I never named
Brick by brick I pulled it down
And wore the dust like rain
No miracle descended
No stranger lit the way
The voice that carried through the silence
Was my own that day
I will climb through every shadow
I will tear the chains apart
Every scar becomes a lantern
Burning brighter in my heart
I walked in carrying my terror
Now I’m louder than the storm
I became the fire I feared
And stepped out changed reborn
The chapel walls still keep their cracks
The ravens still patrol the sky
But they no longer own my footsteps
I learned my fear could die
