I've been pulled back, from the jaws of death
The knife moves slow through skin on bone
Time I had to myself in my head on my own
Almost severed the light of life I've always known
No second chances, none for granted
These two feet are planted
Through the heart of the moment somehow I'm still standing

I know I'm stronger than I've ever been
For what its worth, through all this hurt, I'm still standing now

Claws draw light from the hole in my soul, how don't they understand
I'm more than a man

Ascendant

I am alive, take a look inside
Every ounce of me fights to survive
All that I've said and done doesn't matter
This war is won
Drowned out by thoughts of the past, none of it matters, nothing ever lasts
I count myself blessed to be free from the grips of heresy

I know I'm stronger than I've ever been
For what its worth, through all this hurt, I'm still standing now
For what it's worth, through all this hurt
I know nothing can break me, nothing can break my skin
They'll see I'm still standing now

Claws draw me back to the hell I've known
Claws draw me back to the edge of death

They mustn't know I am, ascendant

Ascendant
