Hollowed Ground - Crippled By My Flesh

(Verse 1)
Rising from the gates of hell,
I hear the whispers of a broken bell,
Chains of regret are wrapped around my spine,
Chasing memories like a ghost in the shrine.
Running from the flames, a fire in my chest,
The ashes of my past tear me from my rest.
Denial's a prison, a cell made of sin,
But deep inside this war, I know I can win.
(Chorus)
Crippled by my flesh, but my spirit won't die,
Rising from the depths, I’ll reach for the sky.
Screaming through the night, with a heart made of steel,
I'm a soldier of fortune, I’m ready to heal.
Crippled by my flesh, but I won't turn away,
With fists raised high, I’ll shatter the gray.
(Verse 2)
The mirror reflects a monster in chains,
Twisted and scarred by a thousand refrains.
The battles I fight leave me worn and torn,
But I'll break these shackles, I'll weather this storm.
The weight of my sins, like lead on my heart,
But I’m breaking the silence, I’ll tear it apart.
In the eye of the tempest, I feel my soul scream,
I’m fueled by the fury of a midnight dream.
(Chorus)
Crippled by my flesh, but my spirit won't die,
Rising from the depths, I’ll reach for the sky.
Screaming through the night, with a heart made of steel,
I'm a soldier of fortune, I’m ready to heal.
Crippled by my flesh, but I won't turn away,
With fists raised high, I’ll shatter the gray.
(Bridge)
Steel your resolve, let the demons collide,
In the furnace of pain, let my fury be my guide.
A phoenix ignites in the ashes of time,
With every beat I conquer, I’m claiming what’s mine.
The echoes resound, like thunder it roars,
A symphony of survival, breaking down doors.
(Chorus)
Crippled by my flesh, but my spirit won't die,
Rising from the depths, I’ll reach for the sky.
Screaming through the night, with a heart made of steel,
I'm a soldier of fortune, I’m ready to heal.
Crippled by my flesh, but I won't turn away,
With fists raised high, I’ll shatter the gray.
(Outro)
So here I stand, in the shadow of pain,
With the strength of a thousand, I’ll rise once again.
Crippled by my flesh, but free in my mind,
With every step forward, the past left behind.
I'll dance through the fire, embrace the decay,
In this anthem of metal, I’ll find my own way.
Crippled by my flesh, but alive in the fight,
I’ll roar through the darkness, I’ll shine hellacious light!
