Ascendance

My dreams are the monolith in your hollow sky

Built by my hand, the testament of my will

Fingers of stone point forever, mocking me

But my ascendance will humble you yet.

Those words you spoke are but a whisper now

Drowned out by the herald of my rebirth

But I assure you those words were not in vain

As they ignited the fire to my life.

The wall of your contempt has fallen

And you are left defenseless

But take my hand regardless

Because this victory is yours as it is mine.

For years you tread upon my aspirations

Told me that I was not meant for this

But when i'm on the other side of the world

I'll be too busy to say I told you so.

I've broken away

I see the path that's laid out before me

Now our eyes are fixed towards the future

This music paves the road ahead

Still the steepest of mountains stands in our way

This is our ascendance from the life we left behind.

Try as you may but you will never take this from our hands.
