I drearily plodded through my daily hell
Sleepwalking through this miserable life
Waiting for my dream where all is well
To at last come true and end my strife
Hiding in an igloo of blackest ice
Feeling at home in the frozen shadow
Watching fate play as a cat with mice
Always wanting what I cannot know
The storm outside snows red glass
The shards collect and cover my shell
I huddle within and hope it will pass
But the demon wind begins to swell
The growing storm rips through the land
My icy dome begins to crack
It soon can no longer stand
And collapses in upon my back
My own cold shadow crushes me
While hell's red slivers tear my skin
The whole sky is a bloody sea
My strength of will is wearing thin
The tornado of razors lifts me away
Cutting my soul and ripping my heart
My strongest shields being smashed like clay
The chaotic winds pulling me apart
Then suddenly I am released
My battered body floating free
The bloody rain seems to have ceased
A softer wind rushes up at me
I'm falling fast through the storm's eye
Falling toward hard and solid ground
And when I hit I know I'll die
My broken corpse will not be found
The pain recedes, I hurt no more
I look up into the brightening sky
And although my soul is sore
I leave my body and begin to fly
Up through the tunnel of light I race
Surrounded still by hell's red storm
A grin of triumph lights my face
Hell cannot harm me in this form
I turn to watch as my body dies
It was but a shell of the real me
It's on the ground, but I own the skies
Its tortured death has set me free
I feel new life flow through my soul
I soar through air now bright and clear
I look down on the storm below
But never again will I feel fear
I feel my power growing fast
The power to choose my destiny
I'll make my dream come true at last
And become the one I want to be
I take a breath to draw the sun
Absorb the power of the light
The battle has not yet been won
There's still one problem left to fight
I focus my mind on the red storm
And use the power my spirit has gained
To halt its flow and change its form
And see how red the land is stained
The tornado obeys my force of will
The red glass razors melt away
The demon winds turn soft and still
The dark cold night becomes bright warm day
The final step has become clear
I've one last spell that I must cast
So I can dry my final tear
And leave behind my tortured past
My spirit's bright new power grows
And stretches downward from the skies
My old blood like a river flows
From my dead body where it lies
My soul, now stronger than all of hell
Forces the wind to move the ground
Then lift my body from where it fell
And bury it under the earthen mound
I reign the furious hellish shards
And form them into a blood red tree
To mark my grave and be its guard
As I soar away so light and free
