Codscra - The Firebearer Lyrics

Chains around my wrists, weight of stars on my back
I reached for the flame they said I'd lack
From shadows I crept, no light on the ground
In silence I walked, with fire unbound
In the caves of men, I laid it low
Sparks in the hands of those below
Eyes of the gods, watching me close
Up in the clouds where shadows froze
Gift of the flames, curse of the chains
Price of the knowledge, breaking the veins
I brought the light, broke the dark
Left a scar, left a mark
They called it crime, I called it breath
Burned my wings, embraced the death
Fire in their hands, power in their eyes
I showed them the path, where silence dies
They built cities, rose from dust
In the gift I left, their shadows trust
Up on the peak, alone I stand
Punished by gods, freed by man
I fed them flames, stoked their need
Now the chains burn but I don't bleed
I brought the light, broke the dark
Left a scar, left a mark
They called it crime, I called it breath
Burned my wings, embraced the death
Can't chain the flame once it's released
In every spark, I feel peace
Silent screams in a fiery night
I gave them sight, I took their fright
Let them curse, let them cry
I was bound, but I still fly
In every blaze, my spirit burns
