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
