UNEXed - Hero's Forge - Duet

Home was a door in the ash of the dawn

I carried its name

when the walls were gone

Cold dust under my feet,

I walked through the frame Rooms without any fire still called me

by name A map made of grief in the pit of my

hand No road left behind me,

no place left to stand But out of the ruin a bright

edge began A shape in the distance,

the start of a man

If the sky can be broken,

then light can get through If my home is a memory,

I'll build something new From the fracture,

from the fire

From the fear, from desire

I was lost in the falling stone

Now a hero wakes in the smoke

What was taken made a space to grow

Out of the dark,

I become my own I become my own

Piece by piece I learned

what the silence meant Not an end,

but a forge where the old self bent

Every scar was a language the future could read Every loss was

a hammer shaping

what I need I wore down the chains till they opened like

rain And the name I was given

came back without shame

Hear the ground start to answer

Hear the hollow

turn to flame I am more than what was shattered

I remember my true name

I lift the broken gate I raise the fallen hall

The grief that marked my birth Will never own me all

From the home I lost,

I learned the stars From the hero found,

I know who we are And I stand,

and I rise, and I carry the spark Turning tragedy to a

fire in the dark

Home lives on in the hands I raise

The night gives way

to a wider place
