Steelbound

Unfold it, behold it, break the mold – Here we go! Pandora was seeking the truth untold Red Hood chose her path, so the story goes But they got blamed for being bold That's not right Always too much and never enough Too quiet too loud too soft or too tough They tell the rules for being me Too weak, too strong, and probably wrong Like fading light, on the edge of night When shadows grow and hellhounds howl, so loud I'm steelbound Born of fire lighting up the dawn The way I shine Is mine to decide I'm blazing through the skies I'm steelbound My voice will resound It's my middle name Forged in flames No one can tame my soul We are the spirit they couldn't burn Through the layers of time, we've had to learn To rise above and fight for harmony Stone by stone, we build the sky Together we're strong in thunder's cry The choir of whispers grows into a symphony We are the voice that shatters the silence We are the light that bends the night Side by side through the chaos we'll shine, so bright I'm steelbound Born of fire lighting up the dawn The way I shine Is mine to decide I'm blazing through the skies I'm steelbound My voice will resound It's my middle name Forged in flames No one can tame my soul "Laugh at my joke and give me a smile" I'm not here for your ego or to please your eye! "Don't even try, you won't make it right" It's my nine-to-five, don't act so surprised! "That book is too complicated; you wouldn't get it" Are you sure? Cause I'm the one who wrote it! I'm sick of your poison And I'm sick of shrinking myself! It must hurt to know you didn't earn that fame When you steal our work and erase our names How can you even think it's your privilege? In what universe does that make any sense? I'm steelbound Lighting up the dark Unfold it, behold it, break the mold – Go! I'm steelbound Born of fire lighting up the dawn The way I shine Is mine to decide I'm blazing through the skies I'm steelbound My voice will resound It's my middle name Forged in flames No one can tame my soul I'm steelbound
