Battle Cry

Echoes of what you once knew In a mirror, just a ruse Shadows mock with laughter, high As the spark fades in your eye [Pre-Chorus] You scream inside a silent shout As youth within fights getting out What's beneath the weary eyes Still reflecting Youthful skies Quiet whispers turn to cries Then your vigor Starts to die In the depths, you feel that age The story's end on an unwritten page Bones may ache with every move But your rebel heart refuses to lose [Chorus] Tangled in a young soul's fire Burning with unmet desire Time may graze with ruthless hands Yet beneath, a young heart stands In the day's relentless grind Yearning freedom, you're inclined [Pre-Chorus] Beneath your skin, a battle's roar A fight for dreams you can't ignore Eyes are heavy but the spirit's bold Trapped in the middle, feeling young, feeling old [Verse 3] Each line on your face tells a tale of its own Yet your heartbeat still races like a wild storm blown [Pre-Chorus] You howl at the moon with a whispering plea Let the chains of time break, set the spirit free Grasping at the days that flow Like rivers swift, they swiftly go In the mirror's honest glare I'm weathered but my eyes, they dare [Chorus] To dream a dream that's soaked in youth To choke on hope with bittersweet truth Each wrinkle a secret, each scar is a path That leads to a story of fury and wrath [Verse 4] Your hands may tremble, your bones may scream But inside you’re alive with a runaway dream [Pre-Chorus] Inside your cage you're pacing, wild An ancient clock, the heart of the child
