Avalon

(album: The Saberlight Chronicles - 2022)

To overcome all the fear within my chest
Carve out my courage, my soul arrest
Temper my heart, and reforge it, from trembling wood, into light

These mountains stand as a strike upon the sea
Scars for the land, and scars for me
See now my heart once submerged here
Resurface now, with the tide!

Fall before, the pantheon of gods
Fight with all the strength to carry on!
All the glory lies with fate's resolve
But destiny's reserved for weaker souls!

Oh, I am not afraid
And I am not alone!
For I've still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes!
Oh I am not afraid
And I am not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here, Avalon!

Attest my pride in the face of what's to come
Waver it may, yet it falters none
Break me apart, I'll grow stronger, empowered more every time

March through my eyes, if my eyes can lead the way
Stand in the fire, burn the flames away
Power in tow, I'll explode here
My heart so filled with light

Fall before, the pantheon of gods
Fight with all the strength to carry on!
All the glory lies with fate's resolve
But destiny's reserved for weaker souls!

Oh, I am not afraid
And I am not alone!
For I've still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes!
Oh I am not afraid
And I am not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here...

Earth, atone here
Burn, while the light begins to fade
Belong here, blaze
Earth, atone here
Burn, while the light begins to fade
Belong here, blaze away!

Oh, I am not afraid
And I am not alone!
For I've still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes!
Oh I am not afraid
And I am not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here, Avalon!

I will forge my own candescent life
I'll be my father and my guide
And though these words, I can't believe
They ask that I believe in
I will forge an incandescent life
I'll make my empathy my pride
And as those words begin to fade
I'll sign my heart upon this

Age, each beat a spark of time
Kindling the majesty behind my eyes
Know my worth; in those stars shines the engine of my heart!
So come, storm of life, rage within these gates of mine
That I might live, my whole life, truly alive
