Ascendancy Horizon

One foot in the cold of the morning

One hand on a door not open yet

I carried the weight of the silence

And learned how to breathe through it

The road was a wall of unanswered questions

A steep incline under unsteady light

I mapped my hope in small decisions

Step by step, I taught my heart to rise

Every scar became a line of reason

Every loss refined the will to try

From the static of a former version

I shaped a stronger way to

survive

Now the ground beneath me changes

Now the air begins to turn

All the doubt that held me under

Feeds the fire I have earned

I am climbing through the breaking

Through the code of who I've been

Every fracture makes me brighter

Every ending lets me begin

Hear the sky above me widening

Hear my name inside the storm

I was built from all the pressure

Now I rise in stronger form I

took the fear and gave it language

Turned the noise into a guiding line

Found a spark inside the shifting current

Let it teach these tired hands to shine

What was locked is opening in motion

What was dim is learning how to blaze

I can feel the future in my bloodstream Calling me beyond my

narrow frame

When the night said no I kept one light alive When the

world stood still

I still moved inside

Now the mountain answers Now the horizon sings

I am climbing through the breaking Through the code of who I've

been

Every fracture makes me brighter Every ending lets me begin

Hear the sky above me widening

Hear my name inside the storm

I was built from all the pressure

Now I rise in stronger form

Higher than the fear that formed me

Past the limits I outgrew

All the weight becomes a wingbeat

Carrying me into

the blue I

rise

I rise

From the wire and the fire

I rise

With a heart remade in motion

I rise

Toward the day I've come to claim
