Proud Conqueror

[Verse] In the shadows I crawl Haunted by my darkest days Battles fought within my soul A war I couldn't escape Lifted my head up high Searching for a glimmering light Yearning for someone to see To say they're proud of this fight [Verse 2] Burdened by this weight Heavy chains that held me down Through the depths of despair I wandered all alone in this town Every scar upon my heart A reminder of the pain I bore But I keep pushing forward Hoping for someone to adore [Chorus] Say you're proud of me Through the darkness I've emerged A survivor of my demons With every wound slowly purged Won't you say you're proud of me For the strength I hold within In this haunting beauty of heavy metal A proud conqueror I've been [Bridge] In the echoes of the night I hear a distant call A whisper of hope and light Breaking through it all I hold onto that sound As I rise from the abyss Needing to feel that pride In a world so merciless [Chorus] Say you're proud of me Through the darkness I've emerged A survivor of my demons With every wound slowly purged Won't you say you're proud of me For the strength I hold within In this haunting beauty of heavy metal A proud conqueror I've been
