Beautiful Warrior

You came in like a storm: ravenous, thunderous. When you grabbed me by the throat I just fell under your spell. The chant was deafening, and the air heavily scented with desire. And I renounced my name, gave it all away and stepped into the fire for a lie. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble. You’re a master of disguise, devious, treacherous. All you crave for is a prize to behold and call your own. I’m gathering my strength, and my eyes are slowly adjusting to the dark. There are no secrets left, I can finally see who you truly are, what you are. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble. I don’t blame you but my loneliness… I believed everything you said, every word and every lie. It’s a tale as old as time. Over and over we played your game, you were the hunter and I your prey. It’s the chase, it keeps you alive… It’s a tale as old as time. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble.

We've been torn to shreds, chewed up and spat out. We were cast aside and deemed unworthy. Played by the rules writ by men in power; but the time has come, the stars are calling. Tonight every wall will fall apart, we are opening our hearts. Tonight we're reclaiming what is ours. Cut away the chains binding me to the ground; I can hear the bells, They're tolling for me. I don't want to spend my life in doubt, I don't want to spend my life in hiding. Tonight we will tear their walls apart, we are opening our hearts. Tonight we are taking what is ours. Tonight the stars are shining only for us. Cut away the chains binding me to the ground, I don't want to spend my life in hiding. I want this hell to end right now. Free me from your reins and let me out, I can hear the bells are tolling for me. I want this hell to end right now. I don't want to spend my life in doubt, I can hear the stars are calling for me. I want this hell to end right now.

Una eternidad recorriendo mar y tierra en busca de paz, persiguiendo una promesa incierta. Nos empuja la fe, pero cada paso es un martirio; es difícil creer cuando el corazón siente un vacío. Con el miedo a flor de piel y todo que perder, cruzaré el umbral hacia la verdad. How are we to process al the pain, knowing all our efforts were in vain? I know... we should have quit the search a long time ago. How are we to overcome the blame, knowing that we'll never be the same? I know... all this time we have been chasing the ghost. Esta búsqueda me ha desmoronado el alma. Y la soledad me ha dejado sin palabras, a ciegas. Y no quiero pensar que todo este esfuerzo ha side en vano. Con el miedo a flor de piel y todo que perder, cruzaré el umbral hacia la verdad. How are we to process al the pain, knowing all our efforts were in vain? I know... we should have quit the search a long time ago. How are we to overcome the blame, knowing that we'll never be the same? I know... We have been searching for a ghost Hold on, my dear, our time will come. Our wounds will heal, our time will come.

Tell me, have you stared into the darkness? Have it pull you down into the deep where all the light is gone? I saw it, saw her climb up to the surface through rage, and blood and sweat and tears; barely made it out alive. Through the cuts and the fissures her essence is gleaming, golden and radiant, brighter than any star. I can’t live without her. These scars will be her badge of honor, embodying the profundity of a true work of art. No more grieving in silence, no acts of submission. This is your call to arms, this changes everything. I can’t live without her. Beautiful warrior, tireless soldier, don't lend your ear to those that made you believe that you only have half a heart and that you are doomed to fall until a conqueror grants you his name.

I'm looking at you like it's the first time, although we've met before in a past life; before centuries of pain and strife. I want to say so much but I can't hide that I'm choking up on the inside. I let you down, but I will make it right. This is my promise: I'm never letting go of your hand. This my promise: I will forever hold you in my arms. Up to my last breath I'll keep you safe from harm. Remove your armor and leave it outside; I know you're scared to death, so am I, but we didn't come this far to cower and hide. We will reunite in a next life, and hand in hand we'll bask in the sunlight, like partners in the most perfect crime. This is my promise: I'm never letting go of your hand.
