I stand here in the twilight
In a crown of ash and stone
I climbed the devil’s tower
just to find myself alone
around me is the graveyard
where everyone I've known
lies wishing they'd come with me
when I told them it was time for me
to go

standing tall my hands unbound
I'm all edges, you're worn down
I'm still up, you're underground
I'll keep breathing
y'all can't stop me

I patina, you corrode,
none of your tears can lay me low
I've got a soul you can't erode
I'll keep breathing
y'all can't stop me

I've weathered every insult 
and cast off every shame
My wings were clipped off long ago
but my horns still remain
I urge you to tread lightly here,
the skies are my domain
you can keep the world beneath
while I soar above you
screaming out my name

standing tall my hands unbound
I'm all edges, you're worn down
I'm still up, you're underground
I'll keep breathing
y'all can't stop me

I patina, you corrode,
none of your tears can lay me low
I've got a soul you can't erode
I'll keep breathing
y'all can't stop me
y'all can't stop me
y'all can't stop me
