The Aegis Of The Soul

(Dundundundun)
(Dundundundun)

Eyes upon the hourglass of years that blur
A tapestry of scars, the wisdom we secure
They whispered you were chosen
But destined to decline
(Dundundundun)
That will and fire would never make your star align
They branded you as fragile, called your spirit broken clay
When the shadow of the cruel left you cast aside to sway
But agony's anvil forged the strength you wield today

You rose alone, it tightened and found your singular way
The wounds may linger, but the spirit finds its key
And now the ages of the soul it rubs in blinding sound
A torrent of compassion on the broken ground
I am the self I sought, I claim the life I built
I've become the legend on my own heart's field

They judged the divergence, the difference you became
Dismissed the inconsistent, whispered every name
They mocked the chosen orphan, yet their envy was the same
But the furnace of your spirit burns with an untamable flame
Today the bastion of a father's love you stand
Sowing seeds of grace within this promised land
The chains of former ghosts do not define your core
You are the author of the fate you've carved forevermore

The wounds may linger, but the spirit finds its key
And now the ages of the soul it rubs in blinding sound
A torrent of compassion on the broken ground
I am the self I sought, I claim the life I built
I've become the legend on my own heart's field

When they condemned and you sought a word in light
And scorned the loyal kindred you embraced throughout the night
You silenced their decree, followed your heart's decree
And rose a pillar of devotion for the world to see

And now the ages of the soul it rubs in blinding sound
A torrent of compassion on the broken ground
I am the self I sought, I claim the life I built
I've become the legend on my own heart's field

And when the final battle of your spirit found its end
You became the sovereign self, the undefeated friend
Your voice the sacred compass, charting a clear design
You are your own sanctuary, the meaning of the divine
I am the self I sought, I claim the life I built
I've become the legend on my own heart's field
(I sought)
(I claim the life I built)
(I've become the legend on)
(On my own heart's field)
