Ascendant

I've been pulled back, from the jaws of death
 The knife moves slow through skin on bone
 Time I had to myself in my head on my own
 Almost severed the light of life I've always known
 No second chances, none for granted
 These two feet are planted
 Through the heart of the moment somehow I'm still standing
 I know I'm stronger than I've ever been
 For what its worth, through all this hurt, I'm still standing now
 Claws draw light from the hole in my soul, how don't they understand
 I'm more than a man

 I am alive, take a look inside
 Every ounce of me fights to survive
 All that I've said and done doesn't matter
 This war is won
 Drowned out by thoughts of the past,
 None of it matters, nothing ever lasts
 I count myself blessed to be free from the grips of heresy
 I know I'm stronger than I've ever been
 For what its worth, through all this hurt, I'm still standing now
 For what it's worth, through all this hurt
 I know nothing can break me, nothing can break my skin
 They'll see I'm still standing now
 Claws draw me back to the hell I've known
 Claws draw me back to the edge of death
 They mustn't know I am, ascendant
