Your armor is fading
Your skin’s decaying
Your body’s shaking
Your bones are breaking
Your soul is taken
Your fear’s awakened

Your beauty’s stated
And kind of jaded
Your heart is plated
Your truth’s degraded
Your mind is shaded
Long have you waited

To hear the words
That’ll set you free
So you can flee
Like unbound birds

So shed your skin
And spread your wings
Life’s beckoning
Time to begin

With mind at ease
Fly high, fly free
Over land and sea
In times of  peace

In times of war
We must restore
All that was torn
And to adorn
All children scorned
To be reborn

To breathe new life
This world of strife
Turns like a knife
With knuckles white
Tonight's the night
That you take flight
