lyrics
Like a blinding light
you stood inside my door
you saw every wish
deep inside my eyes
Someone like me
had never crossed your way
I fell into a feeling
so beautiful
Too great the joy
too tight the bind
I believed
that love was in your hands
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
I lost myself
while you kept me small
You read inside me
like an open book
turning pages
piece by piece
And on those pages
I found my wounds
my wounds
My laughter suddenly was not enough
inside my eyes you only saw the grey
Your words grew fragile, heavy in the air
You said that once I had been stronger than today
My friends were never good enough for you
every question felt like a betrayal
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
I lost myself
while you kept me small
But something deep inside began to rise
a spark of clarity
quiet and loud
A voice beneath the ruins
You won’t be heard here
You won’t be heard here
What I feel is real
what I see is not a dream
And in the silence I can hear myself
for the very first time
You won’t twist my truth again
I am leaving this room
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
But now I stand here
and I am mine again
You will not break me
I rise again
you will not break me
Never again dominance
Never again dominance
From your ashes I will rise
rise
rise
stronger than ever before
You will not break me
I rise again
Never again dominance
Never again dominance
I rise above
stronger than ever before
Never again dominance
From your shadow I will rise
And finally I can see
the real light again
stronger
stronger
stronger than ever before
you stood inside my door
you saw every wish
deep inside my eyes
Someone like me
had never crossed your way
I fell into a feeling
so beautiful
Too great the joy
too tight the bind
I believed
that love was in your hands
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
I lost myself
while you kept me small
You read inside me
like an open book
turning pages
piece by piece
And on those pages
I found my wounds
my wounds
My laughter suddenly was not enough
inside my eyes you only saw the grey
Your words grew fragile, heavy in the air
You said that once I had been stronger than today
My friends were never good enough for you
every question felt like a betrayal
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
I lost myself
while you kept me small
But something deep inside began to rise
a spark of clarity
quiet and loud
A voice beneath the ruins
You won’t be heard here
You won’t be heard here
What I feel is real
what I see is not a dream
And in the silence I can hear myself
for the very first time
You won’t twist my truth again
I am leaving this room
Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright
too bright for me
inside a false glow
But now I stand here
and I am mine again
You will not break me
I rise again
you will not break me
Never again dominance
Never again dominance
From your ashes I will rise
rise
rise
stronger than ever before
You will not break me
I rise again
Never again dominance
Never again dominance
I rise above
stronger than ever before
Never again dominance
From your shadow I will rise
And finally I can see
the real light again
stronger
stronger
stronger than ever before
