The Iron in Her Heart

Written by Mythborne

LYRICS

CHORUS

Raise your cups and sing her name, though her mind was torn apart,
Through the storm and through the sorrow burned the iron in her heart
Let no chain nor cruel whisper keep her spirit cast away,
For the woman who was broken rose again to fight the fray

VERSE 1

In the dawn they came with fire, the banners red with sin,
She took her blade of silver steel and led her soldiers in.
But the cries of war grew hollow, and her courage turned to stone,
When the traitors bound her hands that day and left her all alone

CHORUS


VERSE 2

In the dark they whispered lies, they carved them in her soul,
Turned her dreams to twisted smoke, unmade her self-control
But in the ashes of her mind a single spark remained,
A memory of morning light that would not be contained

CHORUS


VERSE 3
The moon looked down and wept for her, the river hid its flow,
Yet she found peace in silence where no tormentor'd go
And when the dawn came creeping through the ruins and the rain,
She rose with eyes of tempered steel and took her sword again

CHORUS x 2
