[Chorus: NerdOut]
I can numb the pain, but the feelings hurt
I can't stay the same, it don't seem to work
We've been forged in flame, I've got much to learn
I know I must change, stand and burn

[Verse 1: Rustage]
I've been scarred and bruised, it's hard to choose
And though I've struggled gaining, I'm too far to lose
My chance to prove my worth and then start anew
I answer to myself, never after you
Uh, when you're indoctrinated, hatred is all you have known
Grown on the teachings of those, looking to strip you of hope
Hung at the end of my rope, choking on heat couldn't cope
Prince of my kingdom, so why did I feel so cold and alonе
I must be one who atones, forks in my paths and my roads
Mind bout to burst and еxplode, dragging me back to the throne
Look at the pain I've been shown, I'll make a choice on my own
Gaze at the sins of my people, I feel it down to the bone
I feel it down to my blood, I feel it down to my heart
Taking a breath in the darkness, I see the light in the dark
I see the vision of greatness, I see the man from my past
I see the choices I'm making, I see the hurt and the scars

[Chorus: NerdOut]
I can numb the pain, but the feelings hurt
I can't stay the same, it don't seem to work
We've been forged in flame, I've got much to learn
I know I must change, stand and burn
(Vocals)

[Verse 2: Rustage]
When you're blinded by objectives you can't stop to think, I've been pulled in all directions, now I'm on the brink
I learn my lesson and the fear I'm not forgetting cus the writings on the wall, but someone came along and smudged the ink
I'm not a prodigy, I'm just a kid who knows his worth, dragged down through the dirt, I'll make sure they get what they deserve
Iroh gave it meaning, so I'm chanelling his thoughts and words, fire from my mouth, I've got a message and it's getting heard
I keep on getting burned, I'll never be deterred
Nations are at war, I'm not supporting those who gain from hurt
Can't see how hard I've worked, won't leave my name besmirched
Slicing through my hair, I'm changing now, so let them do their worst
I took the lightning, but sent it back, I stay fighting
No second chance, I'm igniting the embers that have been rising
I'm striving to be the person, I'm carving out like a diamond
So I stand and burn away the past, the me that won't be hiding

[Chorus: NerdOut]
I can numb the pain, but the feelings hurt
I can't stay the same, it don't seem to work
We've been forged in flame, I've got much to learn
I know I must change, stand and burn
(Vocals)

[Outro: Rustage]
Feel the fire and the flames as it's burns up
I can never be the same, watch it burn up
I feel the fire and the flames as it's burns up
I can never be the same, watch it burn up
