Through the alchemy of fire Braving the rubicon Through the alchemy of fire Reaching beyond, braving despair Every time the walls are closing in You choose to grow or shrink Every challenge you reject with fear Makes your pride and spirits disappear Fear and doubt have gone Strength and weakness melt into one This turmoil I will harness This drought I will stand Through the alchemy of fire Braving the rubicon Through the alchemy of fire Reaching beyond, braving despair Upon barren soil Ill build my throne No vast kingdom A solid ground Praising freedom in a cage that is myself But who is not a slave? When you think yourself a victim There will never be salvation Every time the walls are closing in You choose to grow or shrink Every challenge you reject with fear Makes your pride and spirits disappear And spirits disappear
